Moving Star Polyps???

[KyleO]

What is the best way to move/relocate/frag green star polyps? I started out with one fist-sized colony and now have several smaller colonies in a few spots. I would like to move the original colony to my 65ga but it has a pretty big base surrounding it now and it looks like I am going to have to do a little surgery.

I am looking for any gotchas or possible problems (like you might get messing with zoa colonies)

Advice???

I don't know of any possile problems like one may have with certain species of Zoas.

I have always had good luck "gently" prying them off the rock with a razor blade. You can then take the part of the mat that you removed and rubberband it to a new pirce of rock. It will grow from there.

Hope this helps.
