If somebody is just starting up a tank and wants an instant easy to care for zoo bottom this may be you ticket!

Zoos are almost indestructible.

You should be able to pull them off the starboard very easily with a razor blade underneath like your peeling a sticker. Also if the zoos on the rocks are in mats they can also be removed with a bit more effort. If you start in one area with some metal tongs you can carefully pull entire mats of them free. I ended up doing this with some seriously overgrowning zoos. One issue is that pulling to many zoos free at once can release a lot of toxin into the water column so you should do it in stages. i ended up need eye protection as well as some of them ended up being squirters.
