Question.

The fire ice (og heh) zoas are about to overtake the rastas and AOI... That I want to fill out more.

Pull with tweezers? Razor off?

Hassle to glue back down... Already have a grow out.

Cafe, What would you do?
Aptasia X?

Tweezers will do nothing. It won't pull the mat up they are growing from and new polyps will spring right back up.

Buy a dedicated woodworking chisel for use on live rock. Guiding and pushing the chisel with both thumbs, take a very thin slice from under the growth mat. Clear it back as far as you want to.

The part you remove should easily be able to glue to a plug or disk.

Went semi rouge. Razored off rock similar to method mentioned how I fragged them.

Probably will grow back faster. Chisel?! Interesting. Will have to try

So the Zoas aren’t opening? The OO Zoas have been closed the hole day. Everything else looks good the new Acan is puffy the Duncan is extended completely and the other Zoas are open as well, (only one head closed). Haven’t tested yet……other than the Calc which is at 460. Anyone have ideas as to why they are closed?
It's friyay and they can't drink?
