    Maybe you could quarantine that rock with something that eats coralline forcing it to only eat that bit? If you had a good lfs you could let them know your plan and buy something for that purpose and return it when the jobs done. Not sure how realistic any of that is, but its an idea lol.

    Thanks chappy,

    I appreciate that idea. That rock also has my red Monti Capricornus on it. While not impossible, it'd prove to be somewhat difficult.

    I may just chip away at the portions nearest the heads of the Zoas and pray that they prevail.

    Oh well, was worth a shot. That is some pretty impressive coralline growth, but hope it settles down for you. Good luck!
