Green Star Polyps

spazthecat · 03/04/2006, 07:05 PM

Hi,

A year or so ago, I put a small rock with green star polyps in my tank. Now, they are on just about every surface in the tank. The glass is easy, I just run a scraper under it and take it to my LFS. But, the stuff on the rock work is not so easy. Any suggestions on how to "prune" it back off the rock? I don't really like the idea simply swapping out the rock for new rock.

Thanks,

Andy

If you need to get rid of any, you can send 'em to me

I was able to actually get under it and peel it off the rock. A razorblade was also pretty handy in getting it off. Just go slowly and the mat should peel off. At least it did for me

Razor blade.

Just keep chipping away every few days to get the chunks you miss.
