ZachS Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I know alot of people don't like them because they spread so quick but I had a question when they spread will they overtake other corals (Zoas, any sps or lps) or just grow around them? I just found some in my system and I don't want them to end up over running anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragthis Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 When I had them, they just grew around everything. Not sure what would have happened if I gave them more time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gill Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 They literally grew on my PPE. Kill them while you have the chance. P.S. they spread through the water colum so you can not island them like GSP or Xenia; no mercy, they won't show any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerald525 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I have read on another forum you can also use fluke tabs with good success and no harm to the corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peligro Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 That's kinda sad, so because they are viewed as a weed, its an instant kill? So are they hitch hikers or actual purchase? HTC EVO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTC EVO Seriously don't underestimate them. If you want a species only setup they are a good choice, but if you want to keep other corals don't do it. They will not hesitate to kill your corals so don't hesitate to kill them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
