Eliminating Star Polyps

[Hockeydad]

Please forgive me but us there a natural way of eliminating star polyps from an sps tank before it over runs my tank?

 

[sir_dudeguy]

chocolate chip star? But that will eat anything else to i would think, so thats probably not safe...

Give 'em to me

Simple solution

Easiest answer - get out the scissors and start trimming. They are notorius growers and will quickly spread. I keep mine on their own rock sperated from the rest of the reef to prevent them from covering everything.

there are plenty of fish out there that will start munching within a few minutes of being in a tank. and they just might ignore the SPS for a while. choice depends on the size of your tank.

Take some scissors or a straight razor and frag them back. Attach to a piece of live rock rubble and sell it back to your lfs for store credit.

I want some too!
Frag it and sell them to your LFS for credit! You shoud have enough money to replace the LR they grew on and then buy som new coral.

Can we see a picture of how its over running your tank?

you can cover them with a rock and the the rest I have use super glue and the reef epoxy. Unless you can get them out its hard. I am stiff fighting them and shrooms
