You could pluck them off I guess but I would do it in a separate tank, just to avoid the rick of toxins being released and ruining you tank. Once they are back ij the dt run heavy carbon just to be safe.

You can hit them with a zapper or if you don't have acces to one, aipstaia X.

This is what I did. They closed up and slowly melted away.

Remove rock from system.
Scrape off the palys from the rock with a sharp knife and glue them on another rock or plug with superglue gel. They have better survival/reproduction rate then the zoas. Grandis. |
