I spent some time today, pulling out most loose plugs with Corals (Zoas, Palys, Torches, Acans)

Put them into a QT tank.

I now have access to much of the rock scape that I want to grow the plug corals on. Want to make their base rock as Hydroid free as possible.

Tomorrow the loose rocks come out for a easy putty covering.

Been zapping whatever I now see left in the tank.

I've decide no Blow Torching for now. Too dangerous. I have lots of Zoa's and Palys, and there could be one inside a cranny.
The smoke from burning one could be EXTREMELY Dangerous (to eyes, lungs, etc)

If I ever consider that option, it would have to be in summer, plenty of ventilaztion, Goggles, breathing mask, painters clothes, etc.
Just not worth poisoning or killing myself. (Recently read some Warning articles about Paly Toxin).
