Hi guy, I bought few discosoma from a guy that is dismantling his tank (I live in the mountain, very hard to get corals so you get what you can). He have a cyano outbreak since it did not care anymore of the tank. He gave me the disco attached to some rocks with some cyano in it. I do not have dip it products.

How do I introduce the disco to be fairly sure to not have problem? I detach them with a razor? My tank is a 10g nano and does not have algae problem ATM.

Also, I would like to keep those rocks in case I need them in future, can I boil them to clean them up?

Cyano is in every tank so I would just brush and shake it off. The main thing I'd be concerned of is the rock leaching phosphate since you said he didn't care for the tank anymore.

well that could actually be good since my rock are sucking po4 like if there is no tomorrow (tank is fairly new) and i can't get a reading in po4 (tested with 2 different tests).
