Palys can be cut yes... but there is no chance in hell I am going to try cut 200 Palys off of a 3 pound rock. Haha. No chance. On a side note... that green monti I got from you is looking sweet!

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. ![]() |

![]() Palys and zoas will grow right onto the montipora without noticeably bothering it. Thats been happening in my tank for a few years.
The Monti should just snap right off the rock. If its old growth that fused there in the first place it should be a relatively clean break. But if your colony is small and still growing in that area it might hold on a little tighter and come off in a few more pieces.

![]() If you can wedge something thin and strong underneath (like a kitchen knife) and they pry upwards you might have better luck. I just pried my big green colony off of its rock last night so that I could break all of the old growth off of the bottom to make it smaller... that generated A LOT of frags. Even if you do accidentally smash it into many small pieces you can just fasten them together with fishing line, rubber bands or glue and within a month they will be fused back together again.

![]() I guess I have a small piece of your green plate from Reefwars. Very nice. Small now but I bet it will be amazing as it grows!
Thanks for the advice. And Denny... things are hectic around here. I'll be there one day.. hopefully soon.
