Force to grow another way....

schnell76 · 02/15/2007, 12:46 PM

I have a couple Rhodactis shrooms that are beginning to get a bit too much. It started as one and then divided into a second one and now the second is beginning to divide again. The problem is they are beginning to move in on my ricordia territory and the rics are retracting. Is there something I can put in the rics place that will force the Rhodactis to grow the other way? This in an all shroom and softie 12 gal tank. Also my clown pair is hosting in the mushrooms so I don't want to remove them just force them to grow another way. I would prefer something without tenticles (ie: hammers). Any suggestions out there??

schnell76 there is probably nothing you can do except take the rock out and get a hammer+flathead screw driver and split the rock in half where the corals are coming together. Good luck.
