Hey guys, I have an established reef tank and I have glued a few corals onto rocks. But I was thinking of rescaping it to better accommodate all the corals. Is it safe to do so? Is it gonna be too complicated or troublesome? Is it gonna affect the overall quality of my tank?

It shouldn’t, might just aggravate the corals for a few days. Just pop them off the rocks before you go moving things around so you don’t injure anything and be careful not to stir the sand too much and release all the bad crud!

Is there a safe way to remove corals that's already glued onto to a rock?

If you glued the plug and all just pop the plug off…i guess it all depends on what type of coral it is and if it has spread out onto the rock.
