Excising single zoa polyps (1 Viewer)

[Guest]

I have a beautiful coloney of blowpop zoanthids I got from Maggie. They are even starting to reproduce as I have seen at least two new polyps this week. However, there is a bright green polyp smack dab in the middle of the blowpops that I would like to remove and mount on another rock. What is the best way to remove a single polyp from amongst others? Can I just cut it out with a scalpel blade? Any help would be appreciated.

Try to "peel" it out with tweezers.. I fyou cut it and leave any of the base it is likely to recur..

or more drastic...syringe and lime juice works some times.

I say use a razor to cut it out and then super glue it to another new clean rock and watch it grow!

A razor would work fine, or you can use a scalpal if you are hardcore fragger lol. I know thats a very popular tool. I love it
