Any way to move buttons

[turningtim]

I have a small colony of button polyps that I want to get off of a rock. I want to remove this big nasty rock out of my tank. Can I peel them off with a razor blade, cutting very gently at the rock surface? Its pretty flat were they sit.......
Any help would be great
Thanks
Tim

it probley wont work , unless you just want to get rid of them, if you want to keep them there isnt much you can do

Is there anyway you can just move the rock to another location? Or can you break the rock with a hammer? But, I wouldn't razorblade them off, you'll end up killing them, as fedukeford said.

Unfortunatly they are on a BIG rock that I hate. I place it in a high flow and the shrooms took off running and found other/better rocks. But the buttons remain and seem perfectly happy. I'd rather not lose them so maybe the answer is to try and break the rock (OH JOY). I'm really to blame b/c I just bought a frag about 3 polyps on a small rock, Now there close to 20 and have spread where I put them

Thanks for the help, I didn't know how sturdy they were!
Thanks
