Thanks again for the kind words everyone!
jjohnson3~ Yep that's me alright. That was one of the first forums I joined many years ago. I am also a long time member @ RC.
The surgery was a success 98% of the invasive plays have been removed! The following pics show the final changes made to the area.
I used a large amount of super glue to extend the ledge with the new rock. I sometimes need to place an acrylic rod up against corals to hold them in place until the glue has hardened:
I am not going to allow any remaining turquoise polyps to get a foothold. Any that I see are removed quickly:
This surgeon's tool comes in real handy for anyone with a reef tank. I was lucky enough to have a friend of mine give me one as a gift for helping him out. It works great at ripping out the remaining polyps.
I also found numerous zoas that were barely hanging on hidden beneath the overgrown plays. I placed these eagle eyes onto the new ledge. Some are already opening up again. The ledge should be completely covered with more colorful polyps in a couple of months:
I expect the lobo to expand quite a bit more in my tank. The frogspawn and hammer are also not fully expanded yet. I will post some pictures after that happens.
