That be it! There are a number of ways. Homemade remedies include injecting with boiling water, lemon juice or kalkwasser. Can buy Joe's juice & inject them with that. Peppermint shrimp will eat them. Above all DO NOT try to pull them off the rock. That can cause them to spread.

Peppermint shrimp worked for me (I did a add good dozen of them )

Some people have hit or miss with the peppermint's

Its a never ending battle regardless so be prepared for the long run
