Exclamation the best way to get rid of Vermitids

is to let your Acropora do the job for you!

Thats one pretty Tri colour...

I always either epoxy or superglue them to death... But i guess Gary's method is much more natural and desirable looking...

This is great......thats what I do........that and I notice if you starve your tank you can kill em off.

I have a mille that is loaded with little spikes from where it grew over this really really really infested rock.

This thread is great! Element of surprise and something I can relate to.

the original Acro frag was superglued to death... I glued it directly on top of the Porites!
Manipulating environmental conditions so they are favorable to Acropora will always help it outcompete it's competition.

I see... I thought you let the tri colour encroach it without further assistance....

Best Regards,
