Should I break these up?

[ndz98]

So I just got these fire and ice zoas yesterday and I was just sitting here looking at them and wondering if I should maybe some how break up the giant piece of them so they could maybe grow a little bit better onto the rock or if it really isn't a problem the way they are now. Tell me what you think.

 

[Martin H. Lawton]

I would.

 

[cameronh]

Yeah I'd break them up, just be careful not to bruise them dude.

 

[cameronh]

Haha that first picture is funny

Can I use like a flat head screw driver and drive to chisel it into a few pieces? And yea that was about the best spot for them and flattest unless I put them on the sand lol.

 

[cameronh]

Yeah you can use a screwdriver, just try your best to go beneath them. Aim at the rock. They might look a little like they are hurting when you get through but they will come back out. Wash your hands when you get done, and watch your eyea, and don't rub your eyes/mouth until your done and hands are washed. Ok?

Okay I'll try when I get home today. When I split them up do I just go straight through where they are in order to disconnect them? And I will make sure to be careful before and after handling after reading what they can do.

Just whatever you do stay beneath the base of the polyp. And you will be alright

 

[muchocoral]

these guys relatively easy to grow so yea, just break them up

 

[cameronh]

Well, how did it turn out?

I haven't gotten around to it yet. I think I'll do it now though.

Haha, wasn't trying to push you to do it. Alright man, watch your eyeballs and don't touch your eyes or mouth until your done and your hands are washed. Maybe some glasses as well just in case being it's your first time. Don't want them squirting on you. Let's see them wen your done

 

[ndz98]

Well, how did it turn out?

I also don't have any rubber gloves. If I wash my hands very well after I handle them do I really need them still?

No gloves is fine, just wash your hands when done.

I just finished up. I'm going to let them sit in the tank for like 20-30 minutes to let them open back up and I'll get a picture for you.
