well when I received this rather large flat rock,it was completely covered in green pulps and they just all dies off and all these baby anemones appeared all over the rock.My other corals are thriving and growing very nicely. when I read about these pesky anemones yesterday,someone said that they kill corals by stinging them...so I wondered if they died because of these anemones taking over...I originally thought they died because the guy I bought the items from also gave my a decorator crab.Not knowing that it was dangerous for my tank, I left him in there.I soon realized however that he was pinching the green pulps off the rock and sticking them to his back 
so I removed him .
so I removed him .so a quick update...I spent many hrs today with tweezers of different angles and pulled everyone of thos baby anemonies out that I could find...The ones that I only got part of ,I waited an hour then came back and they came back up and were very loose cause I injured them so I was able to pick them right off...Im obsessed with doing this now lol crazy but I researched and nobody said that I couldnt do it this way with these guys,only couldnt do it this way with the aptaisias do to poison being released . Hope it works...so far I see none anywhaere in the tank but if I do, I have plenty of dentist tools waiting to attack
I still agree with take things slow, however, Vodka dosing doesn't have to be that hard. Red Sea has a product out called NO3 PO4 X which is essentiall optimized vodka dosing. It has a mixture of methanol, ethanol (the good stuff in vodka), and acetone, along with some other stuff that will grow a bunch of large bacteria that use nitrate and phosphate in their formation that your skimmer will then pull out of the water column. When you buy it it comes with super simple directions as to how much to dose and one bottle lasts quite awhile.
