I need to stop Zoos from advaning!!! Help!

[Scuba Josh]

I have these awsome Ultra Bright Neon Green Zoos that just keep growing and growing and growing. They will soon be at the base of 3 beuatifull Sinulariar. Will they kill the Sinu and Nepthea or will they coexist and just grow around?

Put a smallbb rock in their path even if you have to set it partially on them. When they overgrow it, razor-cut them from the original mass, and sell/trade it. Repeat as needed.

or inject them with kalk paste...

Don't do that! You could always send them to me! JK

The advice that Sk8r gave is right on. Not only is this an easy way to control their growth, but this also frags the zoas in a very natural fashion. As a result your frags will grow faster and become healthy sooner.

As far as leaving them alone . . . I've never heard of zoas/palys choking out another coral. I guess it could be possible if the coral is shorter than the zoa polyps. Anyone else have any ideas on this?

Hope this helps!

be glad they are groing out of control

 

[bugitup]

i think you got two really good ideas. But i have seen zoas grow over the base of an acro frag and it didn't help it out.

I like the fragging idea the best. Frag out your wildly growing zoas to support your habit, I mean hobby. I set frag money aside to buy other frags/coral down the road.
