Zoo's ? Please look

[vic8361]

Hi
I have a few zoo's that or on a large peice of rock that is growing pretty fast. What would be the best way to scrape them of the rock with out killing them. I would love to frag them and maybe trade some and if I get them off what would be the best way to attache them to a small peice of rock.
Thanks for all your help in advance.

#1 READ THE POSTS ON ZOO TOXICITY!
#2 Slide a razor blade under them to lift and peel off the rock.
#3 Use gel type super glue to glue to another piece of rock.
#4 Rinse in a bowl of tank water and return to tank.

hth, Mark

Thanks Harpo. I'll give it a shot and wear gloves. I never knew the could be so toxic. What a sad storie about the guys dog. I am glad that he took the time to post it and help many of us who like me didn't know about how bad they could be.

Hi Vic:
The toxic issue is no joke allright. On one of my trips to Hawaii one of the museums had an exhibit on the old Hawaiian warriors. According to the exhibit they would jab the tip of their spears into colonies of zoanthids at low tide. Then when they would stab their enemies they would surely die even if the wound was minor.
