I have Green Star Polyps (GSP) and Pink Briarium in my Tank and they are both growing everywhere.

What is the best way to get rid of them as they does not just "Peel off" :fish2:

Whenever my GSP becomes invasive I use the pink epoxy to cover it & essentialy build a barrier between the corals, I was able to get rid of & control a pretty large colony that way.

So you just cover it all up with epoxy to kill it off then?

I do not want to do that though. I want to keep my Live Rock looking good.

Supposedly you can "peel" it off the rock. I was told that by a local reefer while trading frags. Mine are starting to get out of control too, but it's going to be a PITA redoing my rockwork, so I've been putting it off. Make sure you just do it in a separate tank so as to not cause a huge mess in your DT.

That sounds like a great idea. Epoxy can be peeled off the rock so if you leave it there for a couple weeks then peel it off, that should work great. At least the epoxy has no problem coming off when my turbo snails or pincushion urchin decide to knock over a coral held down with epoxy.
