that's one reason why they are spreading. I've only fragged zoas by placing a tile or plug close to it and after it grows on it I cut the string with a razor.Start fragging?
they are mostly covering a few small tiles and a large softball size rock. but they have spread from their "island" and plugs, I have an ABS bottom so they are stuck on good. there's not allot of corals to keep these in check in this tank.What are they encrusting on to?
Looks really cool to be honest... but I understand the frustration. Definitely fragging would help. The also don't do well when "crushed" so fragging where you can and adding tiles on top of the remnants would certainly help slow them down.they are mostly covering a few small tiles and a large softball size rock. but they have spread from their "island" and plugs, I have an ABS bottom so they are stuck on good. there's not allot of corals to keep these in check in this tank.
Rasta’s are my favorites as well!Rastas are my favorites!
From what I've read, you mostly need to be concerned about toxins if you cut into a polyp. Cutting between is pretty safe I'm told, and my experience corroborates this--I've only seen brown goo if I damage a polyp.
I'd just remove whole rocks and sell them to your local fish store. Some extra carbon for a day or two should take care of any lingering toxins.
Unless you can frag with a piece of substrate attached for plugging, I prefer to let them creep onto plugs themselves like your doing.I'm thinking a long process of just letting them do thier thing lol, maybe some super glue on some idk I just don't want to get sick but I'm not educated on zoas so I was hoping for a few experiences, not cutting the polyp seems hard to do... I'll watch out for brown goo??
lol yeah I got them for free as a couple polyps, time goes by quick.....
I'm past fragging I need serious maintenance lol before they take all the good real estate and make everything look like rasta zoasUnless you can frag with a piece of substrate attached for plugging, I prefer to let them creep onto plugs themselves like your doing.
that's an idea, I guess I need to get some elbow length gloves and just try something.Fws?
How long did this take to grow out ?
Zoas grow from a shared mat underneath, you might be able to use a plastic scraper to peel it off the bottom of the tank. The edge zoas likely would be damaged but you might be able to peel this off like a sheet from any smooth surface. Then sell to LFS
