Well I may take some new pics this week to show how the TBS rock has "matured." Things are still going well, although I did lose the freebie sponge Richard threw in despite feeding phyto every other...

No worries, I think you all have very sound advice. Rocks have an incredible amount of variance, however, so no one method will be universal, other than perhaps freshwater submersion, which would be...

How long do you usually find this takes? I did not dip in fresh, but rather used a turkey baster to target the hole where the mantis was originally in. All in all, it was out of the water for about...

Thank you all for the suggestions so far!

The Nanofish section of LiveAquaria is pretty helpful, and it looks like gobies are the #1 offering there. It's really hard to choose!

To make a long story short, I was given a 6 gallon nano in bad shape, and moved things into a 15 gallon hex (I know red...

Pull them off?! Hmmm...

If you're actively trying to kill them, why not cut them off with a sharp razor blade? It would work a lot better than pulling.

You could likely even successfully...

Yeah the problem is that sundials damage more than just zoas. They're pretty nasty, carnivorous buggers. It's much better to figure out a way to remove zoas by hand.

Like Pat said, why not...

Yay no more sundials... That I can find anyhow. Also removed two whelks that seemed to have taken a liking to the zoas. Sheesh, can't fault them for wanting to eat, but glad they're gone!

Re: Happy sponge

Hey Richard,

Thanks for the reassurance! The sponge started looking that way after I started feeding the DT phyto to it, so hopefully it will continue to do well. I did move it to a little more...
