Query for the group

I currently have three Zoa frags. I purchased them at Petco and they're huge. Each of them has easily 100 polyps on them. What I want to know is ,is there a way to remove them from their Rock and spread them throughout the tank. One of them fell off of their perch and not the couple loose which are growing in the tank on their own.

In my opinion, it's generally not a good idea to try to remove zoas from what they're attached to. On top of the risk of ripping/cutting the polyps, the risk of palytoxin exposure goes up exponentially when you're potentially cutting zoas. I would recommend placing the existing colonies on rocks you want them to spread to, and then removing that initial frag once some have colonized the new area.
