limit zoa growth

[chris1292]

I have a patch of zoas on main rock that is getting close to sps frag. How do i frag or stop growth so it doesn't grow on sps plug. And I cant break the rock to frag it.

You can chip the rock under the zoanthid/paly mat.

You can also try using tweezers to pull the zoanthids from the rocks. Be prepared for a few casulties though. Some zoas will come off real easy, others will not. If these encroaching zoas are one of your most prized aquisitions, you might want to try something else, but if it's a common variety, go for it.
Another method is to use some epoxy and build a barrier/wall in between the two. Once the zoas start to overgrow the barrier, just pop it off the rocks and build another one. HTH.

Do you have a picture of it that you can share with us?
