Fragging Zoas Advice

[kpoj9]

I’m planning on upgrading to a larger 180g tank soon. I have several zoas attached / growing all over my rock aquascape in my 30g tank. What’s the best way to get them in my new tank? 1) re-use the rock as much as possible and leave the zoas as is? Or 2) try to cut the zoas from the reef rock and frag the zoas? Need some advice.

I’d break the rock close to the zoas and then put them in your new tank on the rock. Dip them first to prevent transferring pests.

In my experience trying to get the Zoa off a rock is pretty tough. For example I have utter chaos on a rock and I was trying to create a frag. I probably killed 4 for every 1 I got off intact. YMMV.

Break off the area of the rock where the zoa are. if that doesnt work take the rock out and try to get as many polyps as possible
