    Polyps can over-run a tank just as easily, just takes time.

    I would just try and peal it off with my fingernail, looks like it would come right off from looking at the picture. Start at the edges and see if it is easily removable. Looks like just a few polyps that have been out of the sun for a while, they might be weak right now.

    PC, I wouldn't try peeling it off... not worth the trouble. this stuff can break apart pretty easy. And will keep coming back.

    I recommend making up some kalk paste and smothering it. Never ever a problem with it again. Just be done with it.


    (she's already said she doesn't want it).

    I'm nuking a lot of rock now to get rid of it....

    ok, i think i'll do the try pulling it off with my fingernail first, if not then butter knife, and if i still can't get it off, i think i do have an xacto knife lying around somewhere and i'll try that, lol than if not that either the kalk paste, i'm hoping that if i use my fingernail it will easily come off

    I would personally keep it and trade the Frags to the Lfs for some coral... And if it apreads like weed the better because I can just keep getting New coral from lfs for "free".

    my lfs has a ton of gsp frags for sale, don't think he would really want more, he has a lot of the same shrooms, xenia, and gsp, guess no one wants them cause their weeds. but looking at the gsp it's on the edge of the frag rock by itself where the zoas havent gotten to it yet. do you think i could just brake off that area of the frag rock?
