Can you pull a green monti off a rock? (1 Viewer)

[jhill9]

My green monti is growing like crazy and I am now having a coral war going on. Is there a way to pull the green monti off the rock without breaking the rock into pieces?

The monti will give way before the rock. If you want the monti intact, you'll have to go at the rock very carefully. Not going to be easy.

A flat screwdriver works good to scrape the monti off the rock near the other coral, but there's no way to get the monti off without breaking it into a million pieces. The rock itself will be fine.

+1 on the screwdriver. I have some cheap chisels I bought at harbor freight that I use to do similar jobs. It will break though, best route is to try and take some of the underlying rock off not just the coral.

I am ok with breaking the Monti. I will try the scewdriver. Looks like I will have a lot of frags available if anyone wants one.

Sorry Cat, I do that all the time.
First I dislike than I change it to like.
Or just blame it on my fat fingers.
Btw, Happy Thangsgiving.

No problem, done it myself

Is it possible to pull the rock(s) that the two monti's are on? If so you might be able to use a dremmel to make one large frag of the plating one and just leave small piece behind on the rock (or chisel it off to).
