So I bought a frag of plating sponge at an LFS and it came with some clove polyps and zoas. I especially like the clove polyps and would like them to survive but don't want them bothering the sponge either.
Should I remove the other corals and put them in separate spots?

If so, any recommendations on procedures. I read somewhere to just rip the clove polyps right off the frag and put them on some aragonite until they grab hold.

I would think the sponge will out grow the polyps in a way, that you could frag the sponge down the road if its getting choked out.
