Getting rid of Palys?

[Nonfamous]

Okay, these copper penny palyos are taking over my tank. Any suggestions for killing them off? Seriously!!! They have survived poor water conditions, low temps and even a cooked tank. I'm going to start slowly replacing the rocks covered with them to reduce their numbers. Any other advice?

(Yes, I know they can be poisonous.) What should I do to salvage the rock? Is it worth the trouble? Freeze it? Air dry it for a few months? Bleach it? Bake it?

Any ideas?

I am boiling mine. You could acid bathe yours, or boil it.

Be careful boiling them. Thats what landed that one guy in the hospital.

Do it right. Either outside on a camp stove (best way), or turn your hood fan on high before you put the rock in the boiling water on your stove. Proper ventilation is key.
