what would be the safest way and also economically the cheapest and also long lasting way to fight this very ugly looking items in my tank?

Cheapest is probably kalkwasser. I tried Joe's Juice (which is basically diluted kalk) and it didn't work that great. Aiptasia-X worked very well for me because it's pastier and the syringes are nicer.

Pep shrimp might do it. They are 50-50 though. CBB will do it but you will not have a single featherduster left in tank after. Also, they are notorious for not eating and starving themselves to death. What nems do you have in tank? Joe's Juice/Aiptasia X is a paste that is basically kalk. It should not harm anything unless you shoot it right onto them.

SW fish has them usually for 5 for $20. Most LFS have them for about $8. Make sure they are peps and not camelback. Camelbacks are not reef safe at all. Some peps have also been reported to eat featherdusters and nip corals.

I used boiling water and a turker baster to spot treat. It took me 2 applications but it worked like a charm. Cheapest way I can think of .

Don't bother with the Joe's Juice the Aiptasia-X is much better product.

Ive only used the Joes Juice product and every couple weeks I might see one or 2 pop up . I get the Juice out and never had a problem afterwards.
