Zoanthids on plugs/Getting them to spread

[flricordia]

As I posted in a previous thread (don't remember who's or which thread) ONE way to solve the problem of zoanthids from growing down the sides of plugs or having to frag them off is by taking a small piece of rock and a bit slightly larger than the plug and drilling into the rock so the plug will sit inside level with the surface of the rock. I snip off the bottom stem of the plug.

Here are some rainbows that had started to grow over the sides of the plug I placed in the drilled rock on the 17th this month.

And here they are today starting to spread off the plug and onto the rock. I will take pics every couple weeks or so.

Very nice. I usually just pry them off the plug and glue them to a rock.
