What can i put on an encrusting coral to kill it with out having to take out the rock?

Why would you want to kill a coral? I thought it was the other way around.Trying to keep them alive is the real challenge of reef keeping.

Kalk paste.

True but sometime times you change your mind about the corals look are it is going to take over a nicer higher priced coral.

Not possible to cut it up and give it away then smother the remains?

Chip it out, that way you can make some cash or have media for your reactor

You can smother it with some epoxy. Eventually coralline will cover the epoxy and it will just look like bare rock.
