F aiptasia is a good way to kill ZoasF Aiptasia will do it, know first hand.
Wouldn’t that realease palytoxin?Kill? Cut em off with a scalpel/exacto and trade/sell/give em away locally
That's what I'm wonderingWouldn’t that realease palytoxin?
I got lots but I don't want to harm the nearby xoasF aiptasia is a good way to kill Zoas
Unlikely (but I didn't say impossible). Not all zoas have it. Mostly just a few types of palys. But you should still wear glasses etc. whenever fragging zoas. If you get any zoa juice in your eye it will sting like crazy. This is a good article about it:Wouldn’t that realease palytoxin?
Gaudy Clown Crab eats them, usually pretty chill and will take frozen food, there’s always a risk of coral attacks thoughI got lots but I don't want to harm the nearby xoas

You don't need the base in my experience, just snip the stem as far down as you can on each polyp. Yesterday I accidentally cut just the cap off of one and it was open and happy 5 minutes later.This.
Why can't you frag them? You could probably a new coral from the store if you trade them.
Naw, they’re pretty easy to cut whole polyps off without mashing them up. You could use gloves too but I’ve never had an issueWouldn’t that realease palytoxin?
I agree with the steel straw thing. They are on amazon. These are the ones I have and they are perfect if you have/get the right size hose. Hey, aren't you supposed to be in school right now?

Attach the straw to the end of the tube. These fit perfectly into the hose I use for changing water. Start the siphon and scrape them off the rock with the metal straw. There is a video somewhere on youtube of someone doing it.I'll probably use a straw and razer. Aiptasia x will also be used. How does the straw work.
Thank John! Also congrats of the hospitality reward. Not sure if I said that yetAttach the straw to the end of the tube. These fit perfectly into the hose I use for changing water.
