SPS Relocation

Ok, so after a couple years I now have SPS (and other corals) growing all over my glass. When things overgrow they tend to get everywhere.

 

In particular I have 2-3 SPS corals which have hit the glass and grown both upwards and downwards. I would like to remove these corals and place them in a larger tank.

 

Any ideas on how to do this without breaking them? Im not sure how bonded to the glass they are.. and so I fear trying to wiggle or slide them out as Im thinking they'll break.

I have a montipora that is growing against the glass. It doesn't stick at all, not like a soft coral would. Give it a nudge, it should move as if it weren't attached.

A razor blade should work. But don't ever let them grow onto a plastic overflow, thats a royal pain to remove.

 

 

Yes it would be fragging it.

But why do i want to frag my nice big peice's of SPS?

 

Chicks dig my huge SPS. Uh-huh.

On my old 58 a few years back it had an acrylic overflow, some montis grew onto it and were damn near impossible to remove. Its like they bond harder to acrylic or something.
