Below is my zoa garden. 1.5 years in and it's starting to look good.
But those green ones. Not the big protopalys, but the small ones with green and purple in the center. They've already overgrown a very nice orange batch that I got at the same time. Now I'm worried about the taller brown ones in the upper right and the orange ones in the lower left.
Any hints? Can I just scrape them off with a razor blade and suck them up during a water change?
I know you're supposed to surround them with frag plugs and bring them to the lfs, but getting frag plugs around what is now a huge colony would be a major PITA. Plus, it would look bad. I've seen wonderful pictures of zoa gardens where different species grow right up next to each other and seem perfectly happy. How do I get that?
