Reefing newb
I found a new coral that is growing on a rock with some clove polyps I purchased a while back. The cloves are spreading and also there are some xenia growing on it now but I can't seem to id this other small coral that has started to grow. The picture isn't great but they are kind of zooanthid shaped with a pink center and kind of a greenish orange mouth and fringe. Also since these have sprung up in between the cloves and xenia will they survive? It's almost as if this area of rock is under a small territory grab by clove polyps, xenia, and this new one. Should I try breaking the rock up and moving the xenia and this new coral to their own area to grow? I might be able to break it with a pair of bolt cutters but I'm afraid of disturbing the clove polyps which are finally taking off. Also yet another question. I have a zoo rock that has a small amount of polyps that get no light. Can I shave them off with a razor blade or something and will they grow elsewhere? Or should I leave them be? They don't really open and will most likely die but I can't move the rock into to many differant positions for them to get some light.
