So I had a single camo pocillopora frag. . . and now I have at lease 20 (probably more) pocillopora "babies". . . EVERYWHERE. As of right now they aren't to much of a problem, though a few corals have started to get stung as they grow to close. . .

should I leave them alone and just have a pocillopora tank. . . or buy a $500 UV laser. . . ?

Your thoughts? Other options?

I have some pocillopora colonies, and yes, they can grow everywhere. I let them grow up a little so I can cleanly frag them off the rock without spreading. I turn off the flow, and nip the "stalks" at the bottom.
