Keeping a coral under control...

[roadrunner]

i have ricordia that has grown from a tiny frag to almost overing one of my rocks the size of my hand...but its spreading to other rocks and i'd rather it not...
...is there anyway i can controll this? and how?

Why don't you frag it and sell them if you have the time. Ric's are pretty high in demand.

Just scrape it off the rock with a razor blade. its really easy. then net onto another rock.. Use bridel netting and rubber bands. What color are they??

 

[roadrunner]

green

 

[roadrunner]

just scrape it off... wouldn't that kill it... and what do i put the new frag onto?

 

[jjlittle]

just scrap it off and place it on what ever you want it to attach to with netting / rubber bands

Sell that sucka and make some money so you can go buy one that isn't green.

I'll take some.

okay fraging it is fine and great but does anybody have the answer to how to prevent fast growing/multiplying corals from overcrowding/taking over the tank? Will you be forced to forever frag to keep them in control? Does less light work?
