Dilemma. Should I nuke rock of Aips with hot water

[kaykay]

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.

Sorry first pic too tiny to see the aips. Here's a bigger pic

The polyps are very small.. Each is just slightly smaller than a 5 cent coin.

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.

If you find them as ugly, either you overlap it with another rock or take it out & chisel out. Cheers!

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

Thanks. I never thought of chiseling the polyps out.

Most likely will do that.

After that... HOT WATER BATH!!

Hahaha. **evil face**
