How do u move ricordia?

[seashells]

I have some pink/purple & blue purple but they are all crowded together. They have been dividing, but how do I get them off the rock????

What I do is take the coral out of the tnak and us e a razor blade and cut them off from the bottom. works great they will spit out some white stuff. but that is normal after you cut them...

[GrimReefer]

you can cut them off the rock. but unless you remove all of the tissue, a new one will grow.

ya thanks Grim for fixing that i forgot to mention that ...

Poetry sounds a little gentler than "sticking your thumb in their mouth & ripping them off....ouch hehehehehehe

If you want to try an experiment, perhaps put them in more flow than they like and see if they de attach to move. Just catch them before they settle. I know mushrooms in my tank have done so before.

Or, fan them to close them up and place smaller rocks around between them and see if they move onto them.

I haven't tried to move a ricordia, but there's a chance it may work as it does for shrooms. Don't really know for sure.
