Green Grapes Over Grown!!

[kschew1498]

Hi

I bought some green grapes a couple of weeks ago and now it is over growing like nobody business....

It grow like a money plant and it climbing all over the other corals I have.

I was wondering can I trim them like plants??

Would advise you to remove some of them so as the whole colony will not crash.

It is a good way for nutrient export.

high iron & nutrient in ur tank explains the growth!

you can just pull them out .. u dont want too many of them in ur display tank..else the nutrient it releases during dark hour would be too toxin for ur tank inhabitate

sure..just pull them out...they're delicate too..so try not to be too rough

Better that they are growing and spreading than dying on you.... somehow don't have much luck with macroalgaes.... only those pesky micro ones... sigh

Hey yap the answer is yes you can trim them.. And you should trim them because they might block out the light towards the corals.. Can use siccors I'm sure but I'd suggest you pull them out in chunks.. Be gentle!!

I read somewhere that it may be good to pinch the stalk before breaking it so that less fluids will leak out.
