Greetings, I have a 4.5 month old 25 gallon (long) salt water tank. I am concerned about this fine layer of white/opaque bristles which is currently growing on my LR as well as a few of my hermits. After doing some reading I found that it could possibly be hydroids. Are Hydroids bad for...

Here is my problem, I have hydroids on a rock I can not remove. I would love to torch them but I can't. I tried AptaisiaX but that didn't work. What else can I try? All serious suggestions will be welcomed. So far the droids are just about a dime sized and I don't want them to get any...
