I bought a rock of zoas from a LFS for $17; it had about 75+ polyps on it. I got it so cheap bc of the red hairy algae growth on it. I got a pan of water, and took a plastic fork to dig out the algae from between / around the polyps. Rinsed it off in the pan of water, then did it again. I did it about 3 times until all the algae was gone. It's algae free, no probs.
