I bought this frag plug a month ago because I like how it had a variety of zoas and baby shrooms. Since I brought it home, these larger polyps have completely taken over and are irritating the other "prettier" zoas. Is there a way to remove the larger polyps without damaging the ones I like?

Hitting them with kalk paste is a possibility but you might damage the other polyps, maybe try separating them with your fingers? (With eye protection and face protection) because I often find on the multiple zoa variety frags there usually individually glued polyps or a few individually glued ones so there easy to separate and the glue might be the thing they're attached to rather than the frag
