I moved a rainbow monti frag because I didn't want it to encrust over my JF Fox Flame acro, Booberry acro or my Walt Disney that were near it. It left a ring where it had started to encrust on the rock. Is there a good way to kill the monti ring?

I was nuking some aiptasia with Franks and I tried covering the monti with that. It doesn't seem to have bothered it too much. Do I need to cover it with epoxy? How long would I need to leave the epoxy?
 
you can use a razor blade to cut it where you want the edge to be and chip off the excess
 
Kalkwasser will kill it if it sits long enough. Epoxy puddy is good for vertical surfaces.
