HelifaxNZ Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Hi Folks, I have another thing that has been growing stedily, it's the black soft coral type thing but don't know whether it is safe to keep or whether I should get rid of it.

skuzza Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 They always seem to be the ugly ones not the nice ones that start growing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 As stated, they are harmless, but they gradually take over. If it were me i would get rid of it now. To do that, turn the pumps off, then snap off & remove with tweezers or similar. Then the little bit that's left kill with a turkey baster with boiling water. If you really want some you could put on a seperate rock. I got some from a shop a few years ago, regretted it ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelifaxNZ Posted December 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Thanks Wasp for the tip. Do you recon I can kill all the bubble algae I have using boiling water via turkey baster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Absolutely as long as you can get to it. Krama was over a few days ago & I killed some sps coral with boiling water while he watched. Had a milli growing into another acro that I'm trying to grow, and nearly touching I know the milli will sting it. So broke of a bit of milli for Krama & then killed around what was left of it on the rock in the tank, with boiling water, to make sure it won't just pop straight back up & sting the other one. With a small tank that is pretty chokka I use boiling water quite a bit to keep things in check & protect stuff that needs it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
