Thanks for reminding me to update C.

After fragging the frag I then dipped the effected portion in a CoralRx. Which seemed to soften or loosen the crip of the yet encrusting hydroids. I was then able to remove them with some tweezers.
Today all seems well, Im still not getting full polyps extension from them but they are opening about 75%
I suspect there are still some stinging the polyps. Just haven't had a chance to put them into surgery.

On a side note Coral Rx is the bomb for fighting ALL pests in our tanks. Helped rid me of HA on a bunch of frags I was manually pruning for months.
