Hog Head Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I have been told that the green pallys will mix with and eventually over grow zoos. How can I remove the Pallys without killing them if possible? Not sure if Pally if the correct name or spelling. Here's a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCR Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 So you want to send the invaders to me!!!! Right?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Head Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 So you want to send the invaders to me!!!! Right?? Sure. What do you have? They are drifters from a small colony. I want to keep the zoo colony pure untill it starts to merge with other zoos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Head Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 Is that zoo "colony" large enough to be called a colony? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCR Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 It's on the way to be one. It's frangible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hog Head Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 So, how do I evict the invaders without killing them or busting up the rock. It is a really nice piece of rock and I would rather not have to break it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I have quite a few of those growing in some of my zoa's too. If someone wants to remove them they are yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are talking to CCR? I definitely don't want more. Any ideas for removal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePremiumAquarium Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I would Kalk paste them or kill them off another way. Lemon juce, aptaisa x, joes juice. I would just get rid of them. Those thing will invade your entire tank if they are allowed to. They grow really fast and are hard to get rid of when they are in numbers. They are a common proto palyathoa and are a bit deceiving as they seem cool at first until they overgrow all of your zoas and such. Of course you could always razor them off and give them to Blain Garrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hard to tell but they look like protopalys. Yah razor blade under them is going to be your best bet. Try to slice a small sliver of rock under them and pull them off. Kalk any flesh you might have missed cuz they will grow back. Luckily you are acting now, those zoas would be toast if you continue to let the protopalys grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started from about 4-5 polyps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
