londonloco January 12, 2014 January 12, 2014 Got rid of red planaria by adding a mystery wrasse, but now I have these to deal with: By the naked eye, they look like white daisys. I scraped 4 of them off the same plug 2 days ago, and two more popped up, same frag, different place today. Anyone know what they are? Are they harmful? How to get rid of them? Thanks!
Incredible Corals January 12, 2014 January 12, 2014 Looks like little clove or daisy polyps. Doubt they will win the battle between that favia.
Coral Hind January 12, 2014 January 12, 2014 I agree with the above. You might be able to cut or chip them off of the base and relocate them.

I agree with the above. You might be able to cut or chip them off of the base and relocate them. Thanks.....but I'm not sure I want them in my tank. Do they take over like green mushrooms or xenia?
Coral Hind January 12, 2014 January 12, 2014 the ones i've had were much slower growers, not weeds at all. Grow them out and sell or trade them.
Coral Hind January 12, 2014 January 12, 2014 if you want to kill them you can just cover them with super glue and they will be no more.

Jason Rhoads January 12, 2014 January 12, 2014 I second that you should grow them out. I loved the daisy polyps I had before my move. They are good at growing into the small spaces that other corals don't occupy, and they didn't seem like they could harm corals they came in contact with.

I'll try to grow them out, right now they are the size of a pin head. I'll leave them be for awhile then transfer them to a new rock.
