you could do it all, but i would avoid the major upset on the tanks part. Start with the one piece and hopefully this will keep the population at 0. The sooner you do it the better the chances of preventing anymore from growing.
Woo! micro tank!

I'm gonna do lemon juice now I only see three of them so I'm just going to take those pieces and if I see more I'll do all of the LR. So much for buying LR from the other store lol.
Ok I just did it. I put the pieces in a plastic container with about 1/4 of a gallon of seawater and I juiced 4 lemons in it. I had a cut on my hand oww! Seawater+Lemon Juice+ cuts = unimaginable pain lol. The water is murk with lemon juice should that get rid of those buggers?

Agreed...The best ways of using lemon juice is to either inject this directly into them using a hyperdermic needle on the syringe, or use a a dropped and drop it into the mouth....The dropper method is not that easy though....
i had mentioned using the syringe in an earlier post, and dont forget they need to be injected into the base, usually when lighting is at its highest and there fully extended. I have been able to "spray" small ones with a little lemon juice, which burned them and killed them, but for a large one this could upset your water.
The lemon juice is also purchasable from the store. Just 100% concentrated is what its called.

Ok I abandoned that idea way. I don't have a syringe or hyperdermic needle so ya. What I did now is I just bought a gallon of RO water 35 cents lol and I am soaking them in that over the weekend. So will this actually upset the concentration gradient of salt in there cells and kill them?
Sweet thanks for the help. It is currently soakng at home while I am in LA. I get to set up my stepmom's 60 gallon sw tank. WOO! Found great deal on craigs list. I'll post up a thread on it soon. Isn't always more fun when you don't have to pay for stuff lol
Honestly, by that picture, that anemone kinda just looked like a bleached aptaisia... which can be a problem, but are rarely very harmful to anything unless they are stinging corals. I have some of them in my reef tanks, and I just burn 'em with Joe's juice whenever they seem to be reaching too high of populations. I know they can be ugly or sting corals that are encroaching on their space and stuff, but I just don't see the justification in killing off a whole piece of live rock (a weekend in freshwater will kill pretty much everything) just to get rid of some anemones that can easily be kept in check.
Nice pics otherwise.. tank is shaping up.

Thanks well its too late now to do anything about it. I didn't want them anyway I'm worried about a new fish I got being stupid and getting stung. I just got a yellowtail blue damsel which will be moving into my stepmom's tank come time or not at all. The craigslist was bad 
but I found a LFS with a good price for a 55 gallon. It will probably be FW though . Oh well I want to convert my 150 gallon to SW and move my FW fish into a large 1100 gallon pond. Or I may make the pond SW it depends on where I am going to go to college. Anyway I'll post new pics when I get back home.
