just snip them off with a pair of scissors at their base.. do it quickly before they retract...

Do it out of the tank under water, as they will release some poison when cut.

There after run some carbon to reduce the effect

O, remember to wear some gloves as some ppl are allegic to the chmical they release

You can just frag all of 'em out

Take out the rock, turn it upside down, cut a single snap closest to the disk and leave the bases on the rock

Place the frags in a low current place and add some coral chips or chunks of LR (I use those that I chip off from corals) and allow them to heal and attach which takes about a month
