Thread: Propagating Dragon's Eye Zoanthids

  1. #1

    Default Propagating Dragon's Eye Zoanthids

    I have five or six Dragon's Eye Zoanthids on a rock with some Xenia. I do not want the Xenia to smother out the Dragon's Eye Zoanthids. Is there a way to remove zoanthids from a rock and put them on another? Alternatively, would anyone happen to have a small frag of Dragon's Eye Zoanthids that they would be willing to trade for?

    The first pic is of Radioactive Dragon Eyes. The second pic is Dragon Eyes. HTH.

    You can chisel under the zoa mat or break/saw/cut the rock somehow to separate the xenia from the zoas. Use eye protection. You can glue them onto another rock or rubble using superglue gel.

    If you don't care for the xenia too much, just scrape it off the rock with a scalpel. It might grow back but you can keep it scraped until it's gone.

    A friend of mine helped me chisel off some of the rock. We got for of the polyps. I put them in a good home with lots of light. They opened up almost immediately.
