Hey guys so in my tank i have around 160 lbs of live rock, in a 90 gallon i am think this is to much so i am going to take out 9-10 pieces....


The problem with this is, i have 2 frogspawn, and a rock with green zoas on it ( it is only on 1 rock)


So i was wondering what i should do when i reaquascape my tank tommorow? where should i keep the corals.... ?

which happens to be a water change day so thats good.

Pour off part of your tank water for the water change into a large Rubbermaid container then add your rocks and corals. If this process is going to take more than a few minutes or an hour I would add heat and circulation. Then rescape the tank. You can discard the old water when you are finished.

Place them in a bucket of tank water.

alright yea thats what i was thinking, will the stress of moving them kill them?

 

[mfinn]

Nope.
The zoanthids are pretty tough. They could stay out of the water with just a wet paper towel over them for a hour or more in a emergency.
I'd keep the frogspawn submerged.
