Paly taking over the tank

[uhupong]

Anyone have any tip to kill/remove unwanted Paly without removing rock from the tank ?

I think the problem with killing it is that you release Palytoxin. It looks like it's in a position where you could remove it and exchange it with another rock.

Syringe with kalwasser concentrate should work to kill off but should only do a handful of polyps at a time and run a bunch of carbon. Quickest and safest way is to remove/ frag rock.

He’s right. It will effect the rest of the coral. Just take the rock out.

Agreed

Be careful what you do with the rock though, that toxin can get airborne and really sicken you. I think you have to bleach to be sure you don’t have a problem.
