Zoas or Any soft Coral Removal tool

[Quoc Vu]

I just want to share something I created that works wonderfully. I have an outbreak of pandora zoas that are taking over my tank. I wanted to remove them without polluting the tank. I have a 150 gal. I came up with a solution. I had a metal straw laying around and hooked it up to some plastic tubing. I took a dremel and cut one end of the straw into sharp edges for slicing. V shaped . I put one end into a 5 gal bucket started a siphon and started slicing and sucking them out super easy . It was before a water change so all I had to do was add my premix water afterwards. Let me know if anyone needs pics . I don’t post it since I find it pretty self explanatory. If I had to improve it I would get a larger diameter metal tube since I had so many zoas sometimes it would get clogged. So I kept having to unclog it .

Happy Reefing

Here it is if anyone is wondering how it looks. A little larger diameter would make it perfect.
