Best Way To Remove Zoas from Glass?

[LRT]

Trying to save my remaining GMK and looking for best, least harmful way to remove zoas from back glass. End goal is to save them and get them growing on tiles again.

May be the only way. I guess I could drain water below zoa line and get sharp razor under foot and hope for best. Id like to save at least a few but keep them contained better next time

I’d cut down the glass while the Zoas are submerged. Use a net if you are afraid they will drift off after cut is done. Will not hurt tank. Safer for you.

magnet a plate against the glass and give them time to grow onto that?

Use a credit card if you don’t want to cut them with a razor I think would work

Razor blade those things still under water. You'll lose a few P no matter how you do it, better to keep the squirting to a minimum.

They will razor off the glass rediculous easy.

Razor is indeed the way to go. However, don’t try gluing them tissue to tile/plug. If you have a shroom box or something similar place them in there and allow them to heal.
