    it looks like the zoa colony was built on a piece of lps skeleton and they are both comming from the pores so i dont know if that would work without destroying the zoas

    I'd just sacrifice the frag, or if you can cut the zoas off the frag and re-attach them to another surface, then toss the old one, that would be the best.

    One drop of Blue Life Aiptasia Control on each one of the littler buggers will do it.
