Hello Everyone,
I was just updating my tank journal and thought I would post here. There are several zoa’s i have that are doing well. Would love to pass them along but I need to find a good way to get them off the rocks. FYI I can’t take the rocks out of the tank. Here are some pics. Any ideas would be appreciated.

really slowly with a mix of bone cutters and a razor blade. Cut the easiest parts of the rock to cut off with polyps on it, razor blade as close to the rock under the polyps you cant. Try to keep the matt together
 
You can use bone cutters to cut the rock.

Or, a dental pick (what they use to scrape tartar off your teeth) to scrape the zoa flesh off the rock.
