Mushrooms and Zoas
Hello all.. I have a 150 reef with about 350 lbs of live rock it its about 4 months old everything is going great with it. However, I have quite a few mushrooms and zoas in it. The mushrooms dont seem to be spreading out (I have read they can be a problem by doing that) but I do have them scatterd out in a few places in the tank but they are attached to large pieces of rock that cant be moved or removed and I would like to keep them together in one area... Can I some how remove them from their current rock and put them on a diffrent one without killing them?
Next question, I seem to have colonies of Zoas poping up and just a few random ones.. I wouldnt care but I dont want just random Zoas so same question for them? Please let me know some techniques for moving them please.. If ther is such a thing? Thanks |

Just give them some time - they will spread fairly quickly assuming water quality is good. I had 2 zoa frags (Eagle Eyes and Horizons) go from 5 polyp frags to over 50 in abou 3 months. Be careful what you wish for with the mushrooms - they are great growers, and will eventually overgrow everything if left unchecked.
Good luck!

Ummmm... K. Let me clarify what I was getting at. I have plenty and they are growing very well... too well, so I am wondering how to consolidate them without killing them off. How to move them from one rock to another.

Yeah, I am sure... Scared me at first though... I am not that good with names yet I get everything confused, and I didnt know what "unholy evil aka aiptasia" was! I know them as glass Anemone (I have heard the correct name I just forgot it, I went though that s*it with my first tank).. Anyways, yes they are Zoas... Do you know how I can move them or do I have to kill em off?
