Eradicate SPS

In deed they grow fast and spread all over the tank but I don't mind. why would you want to nuke your tank just to kill pocillopora? just remove those rocks and sell them to those who will appreciate the pocillopora maybe?

The other solution and a probably much healthier one would be to cover the coral until it die...which should be very fast without light.

SPS in question is green pocci, they just grow too fast and start overtaking the rock. They are like the SPS version of GSP.

already fragged them a few time, and if I left a few polyp on the rock. They grow back to the same size in few months.

I have about 80 buds now, so selling "that" rock isn't going to work

covering them might prove impractical as well, so I'm just gonna like them until they get big enough to harvest. Then I just need to find 80 people that want some...

not as easy as you think.. ppl might pay for the colony size. but, don't expect much with the frag size. been there, done it.

again, when they get to the colony size, they will probably spawn again.. so, you will end up with 640(80X80) buds.

Ur all sunshine and roses, aren't ya? lol. Ya, I'll give it to anyone that wants some, then the rest goes over the fence. I have some good cutters that can get them off the rock once they're a bit bigger.
