I'll trade you all the Mojanos I can find for all your Pocillopora.
 I do constant battle with them to kill all I find and then more show up.I do have a couple of acros that are in desperate need of fragging. There starting to overwhelm the area in the tank where they are located. The price of success in reef keeping

Mine has spawned a couple of times as well, only in the past year or so and I have had the colony for about 3-4 years. NO idea what I did to make it so happy. Now I have little colonies all over so I ended up fragging off the main colony and giving it away. Its kind of neat the places they've picked to start up new colonies, places I could never manage to attach a coral to so I've freed up the spot the original colony was in for something else

I've had a couple spots where different sps have encrusted and started to grow where I didn't want them to. I found a couple of good fixes... 1 - if the rock can be taken out, torch the unwanted frag with a lighter, 2 - if not, just cover the spot where it is growing with a little marine epoxy... and a frag that you do want there... or just the epoxy if you prefer. This will smother it, and problem solved.
For the longest time, I would scrub them with a tooth brush thinking that the stress would kill them... somehow they would survive, which blows my mind. That said... people like free SPS frags!!

I have two types of Pocci (pink and green) and they've both spawned. Pink being the most prolific. I've never seen the event, but have the evidence all over my tank. I'm finding that they are very hardy and can out sting many corals.
If you want to kill them 'naturally' place a healthy acan or something that CAN out sting them next to it, they'll zap it in a day or two!

 months ago i had found a tiny 'frag' growing ina crevasse and thought i'd busted a piece off but had no idea how it got to the other side of the tank. now all is revealed!
