    you just aim for center and keep water flowing at good rate up close (in or out of tank just be careful with near by coral)so you melt them. it happens so fast that they don't get a chance to release spores to reproduce but you need enough water to fully melt them down to nothing, and you gotta keep hitting them till they are a gooey lump of crap.
