acan lord frag with zoanthid polyps on the same rock

[EnFuego]

Well I originally thought that these were more acan lord polyps coming off of this one polyp (they are facing the back of the tank, so it was hard to see, and they are soooo close to the lord polyp that I thought it was the only posssibility). From looking at it, apparently i have two small zoanthid polyps on the rock that my acan lord frag is on. Can I just use a knife to cut them off without damaging the lord frag, and put them onto another rock? Here are some pictures so you can see what I'm talking about...

I moved the rock around to get a full shot of the zoanthid polyp. There is actually another tiny polyp (total of 2) also extremely close to the lord polyp:



Let me know what I should do. Thanks.

I would cut the zoo's off, but someone might know about if the acan will kill the zoo's. I hear how powerful the sweaper tenticals of the acan is, I would think it could handle it's own.

A good scalpel or exacto knife would work. Run the blade under the zoanthids and it should scrape off just fine. Don't worry too much about damaging the lord polyp. They are very forgiving corals.
