Spongenode

[hadams356]

I have a Spongenode coral the size of a basketball and want to remove from my tank. (Taking up too much room) Does anyone know where I might be able to re-home it. I have reached out to WWC and other local LFS and they won't take it. I hate thinking about killing it. Live in the Orlando area. Thanks for any suggestions.

Local Reef clubs? Sure is a beautiful piece.

What about just trimming it back a bunch? I always feel bad trimming back our roses but it's good for them, even if there is a post-trim shock period.

Frag it back, strategically, keep the pieces. They will make good liverock additions/places to mount other frags after it's clean. It's like trimming back a bush.

The reality is commercial places don't know anything about your system. The way they see it is you may have bugs and your piece will infect there system. That piece is also very abundant.
Reach out to FB group in your area, price it cheap or free for very large frags. You'll see some people who don't have a lot of money or not a lot of coral in there system, respond. It actually feels good to give out frags for free.
