Hi currently in my 10th day of cycling. Found these few polyps on a liverock.

But!! Tiny aips are also found on the same rock.

Can any reefer help id this polyps?

They're just brown. Should I keep them?

I can choose to..

1. Throw the pc of rock away

It's about 1 kg. using as base rock.

2. Nuke the aips w pouring boiling water(but it would mean these polyps will go too)

3. Get aip control via peppermint shrimp or berghia nudis.

4. Any other suggestions?

All ideas welcome. Thanks.

Bro, if the rock not very nice, I suggest don't use - throw or treat it separately is up to u. For the polpys that u wish to keep, just hack out that portion. Hope this help.

The polyps doesn't seem much, you can just chip that portion away and stick it back when you nuke the rock.
