Hi All,

So I moved a coral today and noticed the below! There were a few 'shells' I had seen a month ago, but now they seem to be overtaking! Any suggestions for complete removal???


Thanks all!

Crush them with needle-nose pliers. I had them everywhere but slowly they diminished as the tank matured and after regular crushing.

I tend to snip the individual ones in tank when I see them sticking up but would you suggest attacking this one out of the tank?

Sure, you can pull that coral plug and crush them outside the tank easily.
