    This thing? Is growing on a Plate Coral Skeleton. I want to remove it and put it on the bottom or on a rock closer to the bottom. It is not alway's flat like it is in the picture. It is usually puffed up pretty thick. How can I romove it from the Skeleton? One are of it has a peice of the Skeleton poking through the flesh, I would like to move it so it might live with out any more holes poked in it. How would I go about removing this other coral?

    I held it in front of the powerhead and it seperated this much but the rest is pretty tightly attached. Should I leave well enough alone or try a toothpick and gently pry it off?

    the plate still has color so maybe it is also alive.
