I know this might have been already discussed in here but having trouble finding it. I need something that will eat polys. Any suggestions. I am not able to reach alot of them and the ones i can reach have already been cut out and dealt with. I am unable to tear tank apart as i have sps that is preventing from tear down, don't want to break them if i can help it. any help would be appreciated.

i think they might, but im scared that they will eat my sps. ive got a 220 which is mostly sps, have prob about 100 different pieces if not more.

You could try smothering the polyps with some epoxy. You might want to cut the polyps as close to the base as you can with some scissors first though. (right before a water change)

same issue here with ugly brown poly. i control it by taking the rocks out or pasting with kalks occasionally.
