How do you move zoas

[1st reef]

I got a zoa on my gsp rock. I want to move the zoa onto another rock. How do I go about it?

I would get a tea spoon under it and peel it off. Glue it down to where you want it to go

Use gloves and a face shield they can contain toxins.

Maybe I'll just let nature take its course on this one lol

A single polyp won't do you any harm, don't rub it into you eye or chew it though... 

I have large colonies and move, cut and glue them around the tank often as they grow out.. no gloves, no mask.. 

That polyp will get smothered but if you want zoas you can buy standard ones cheap enough anyway.

That's probably not one of the toxic species. It's mostly palythoas (true palys, not just large zoas) that are toxic. Gloves are important when handling any corals or rockwork, though- there's bacterial concerns aside from coral toxicity. 

 

Got any bone cutters/wire cutters? You could chop that little bit of the rock off. Watch out for what looks like a feather duster below it, try not to cut into that. 

 

Nice color on that watchman's spots.

I'm just going to get rid of the gsp. Tank is too small for something that spreads so uncontrollably quick. I agree.. Ywg looks awesome. 

Replacing the gsp with a hammer.
