Hey all, okay I added some zoa frags a couple weeks ago, and I am seeing quite a bit of coralline creep up on the plug with some Rasta’s on it. Any ideas on best remedy? I am thinking pick the plug up, and just scrape off the coralline, without actually taking plug out of the water. Just wanting to see if anyone has a better solution.

Agreed why do you not want it. It’s a sign your tank is doing well also. If your scrape it off in the tank water that is just going to further seed your tank.
As I said to another, I love coralline, and am always excited to see it, I just need to make sure it will not over grow my Rastas, or prevent them from spreading/growing. If consents that it’s fine, then I will leave it be. But if I need to decide which takes precedence, it it the Rastas no contest.

Everything grows better over coraline so you’re good.

to a degree it /can/ cause impendence to growth but zoas i wouldn't worry much about, on the other hand if you are worried and want to do something scraping it like you said would work,
