Massive amount of Palythoas.

[Salty Jimbo]

I’ve had coral in my 20gal tank for roughly a year now, with mostly Zoanthids and Palythoas. I am yet to attempt a fragging due to not wanting to crash my tank. I have a massive colony of Reverse Space Monster palys that needs to be fragged, it has spread to multiple rocks and is starting to get close to other coral. What is the safest way to do this? (I have a frag kit and plugs)
Thanks!

Pretty good videos on fragging palythoa on youtube. Just be really cautious when you frag paly’s as they will “spit out” chemicals which are poisoneous. Frag them outside the tank using protective gloves and eyewear. After fragging let the rock with palys and frags sit in a bucket of saltwater. This way you will not introduce the poison directly in your system. I run some activated carbon for 2 weeks after big fraggings.
