any suggestions for killing community Hydroids?

Folks,

can't possibly do this manually, I've got 220 gallon reef and although they are not over-running the tank, I'd like to find a predator-type solution.

any ideas?

from the different threads i read possibly peppermint shrimps worked for some people and I've read dipping in hydrogen peroxide might work as well but I would look into that more before taking action

What about covering them w superglue? U can always peel it off later on

Idk. Either start over or manually.. Like 2x a week get in there and do a little work.

an angelfish will eat it up

Peppermint shrimp always worked for me..

Try an emerald crab. Some will eat them and some won't. Same with Peppermint shrimps. Don't even think of looking for a Lynx Nudibranch. They are either mythological or literally extinct.

are there angels that will devour hydroids and not my corals???
