JonPM Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Well first, are these button polyps? Second, how can I propagate these? There must but around 150 of them on this rock I have. Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 zoos...take a hammer and chisel/screwdriver, find a good spot to hit the rock and have at it! wear eye protection and keep your mouth closed as zoos have palytoxins that can cause nausea, numbness, death, etc. Link to comment
JonPM Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 What if I put this rock right up against another rock? will they eventually spread? Link to comment
JRGumby Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 I don't have a tank yet but this is what I've read. Yes, they will spread to the other rock, and then you won't have to smash and chisel. You will need to cut the connective style tissues areound the base if the polyps are connected will a knife or razor. And you'll want to do it out of the aquarium because they will ooze a toxic black fluid. I could be wrong, but that's what I remember from somewhere. Link to comment
yoshiod9 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 uh, yeah, you can just put this colony on another rock and they'll spread...it will take a bit of time, but they'll spread for sure. but what jrgumby said about the toxic black fluid is something i have never encountered with my zoos. lol.
