Hey all,
Im in the process of converting to mainly SPS. As with most beginners, when the tank was set up a few years ago, I added the usual mushrooms and Zooanthids. Now I want to go mainly SPS and the Zoo's have spread and covered almost a fourth of the tank. I have already lost a nice Tri color frag that tipped over and was barely touching with one branch and in a matter of a day, All tissue was lost. I didn't even have time to frag a branch. With the mushrooms, the euphylia frags I have been making and laying on them is working well. But not effective on the Zoos. Any Ideas on how to rid my tank of these things? They seem to be encrusting, but I really don't want to disassemble my reef to peel them off.
