Luckily have never had to deal with it in the big tank. All spots of it showed up on zoa frags from a specific vendor that I added awhile ago. Trying to decide the best course of action considering they're all cemented in... Do I spot treat picking them out, etc... or add an emerald temporarily then move it to the big tank (someone in the big tank kills them long-term, haven't figured out who yet)

I find if there is plenty to eat they will do ok. Starving is when they get desperate.

Yeah, I've used them in the big tank for other purposes, they've luckily never hit rogue status there. I may keep an eye out for some smaller ones locally after the holiday. I have a couple patches of algae in the big tank anyway that they can definitely assist with.

Tomorrow is the last day of crazy (retail, holidays)!
I've had so much success with moonshiner method in the big tank with the single acro that lives in there (and all the gorgs) that I really want to apply it to the pico. The only way I can think to do that since the dosages are tiny amounts for 100g is to figure out a shared water method between the two. Last week instead of doing my 90% water change on the pico with freshly made new water, I did a 25% from the big tank (and placed the removed water into the big tank) - might be in my head, but it looked like there was a significant difference in PE in the acros and my alveopora was much fluffier that evening and the next day. I plan to do a few more of those to balance out the levels in the two tanks beginning tomorrow, then do 90% in the baby tank from the big tank weekly on the same schedule I was following previously.
*fingers crossed*
