Trimming LPS Sweepers Tentacles

[Alex’s_Mini_Reef]

I just came across and noticed that WWC trims there sweeper tentacle on there pectina , I was wondering if any of you have done the same on your Chalice, Pectina or anything similar

That sounds like a bad idea. Never heard of it before. Posting a link to the video or article would help

That is some thing that I would never consider doing

It seems really risky, just the chance of infection setting in.

Never heard of this

Maybe @WWC can chime in and tells us how safe this is to do

I did purchase a space invader from them and was wondering why it didn’t have super larger sweeper so this could explain why

Sounds like a really good way to infect a coral with BJD

Trimming sweeper tenticles sounds not only unnecessary, but harmful to the coral. I would never consider doing that... Even if WWC does it. Sounds lazy in repositioning when it's negatively affecting surrounding coral. Hard pass on that.

That being said, space, invaders are very susceptible to brown jelly disease

I would think they would just grow back anyways....not sure what the point is other than possibly damaging the coral.
