[SABOB]

I'll take it off your hands......let me know!!!!You probably don't want anything that ugly in your tank,it would look OK in mine.

If it won't all fit is SABOB's tank, you could split it and I'll take part.

Very hot cloves! Love that green "stem".

Okay, Question of the day solved! Answer: CLOVE POLYPS.. I like them too, Yes they look like palm trees.. I just dont know if the zoa's do.. I guess I can tweeze them and glue them some where.. Maybe tomorrows project!

Glue may not work because they are leathers. Try mesh or a rubber band.

Oh yeah, you don't really need tweezers, it was just what I used to do some time back. Fingers work just as good. Once it gets going they will just peal off in bunches.

That's too cool to mess with, i would just let nature takes it course.

How thick are the "stems?" If they're big enough, you might try skewering them with a toothpick and then rubber banding the toothpick to a rock. After a few days, you can take off the rubber band and pull the toothpick out. The polyps should stay attached to the rock. If you can't screwer them, try pinning them down with the toothpick and then rubber banding them.

Personally, I'd try to move them. I do like to let nature take it's course, but not if the zoas are not happy. I got a small frag of clove polyps that had some really deep fluorescent green palys on there, too. The palys open up really nice, so I left them alone.
