getting rid of sponge?

[clamgal]

I need suggestions on how to get rid of the sponge that is threatening my orange zoas. The sponge (beige) keeps growing in between the zoas and is not allowing them to grow to their potential - plus it looks really ugly. I've thought about cutting it out, but I'm not sure if it will just come back like a bad weed.
Thanks,
Adriana

Take the rock out if you can for about 5 minutes. Sponges normally wont live at all once they've hit the air, but your zoos will be fine.
