Sponges and zoas!
I have a small piece of lr that has a colony of zoas all over it and at the top is a silver dollar sized colony of porites. The zoas and porites are doing very well but so is the sponge that is growing all between the zoas! My question is dont sponges die when exposed to air? Could I remove the whole rock and expose it to air and kill off the sponge, that is soon going to choke out the zoas? Would this hurt the the zoas and porites? Also what about the sponge die off would it hurt my tank?
Tank is a 40b and the whole rock is like the size of a baseball with sponge covering like half of it! Thanks for any help! |

Some sponges die when exposed to air. The shipping process tends to weed out those species before they can hitchhike in though.
It's unlikely that anything besides manual removal will keep the sponge from covering the zoas.

Hey Greenbean, who is the pic in your avatar?
I've resisted asking for months now but have to ask.
