Removing sps from glass.

[One Eye]

I'm breaking down my old 45 gal tank. I have a few different sps grown on the glass/coraline. I would like to remove them and superglue them to the glass of the new system. Any ideas on the best method? Anyone ever do this sucsessfully? I'd like to keep them fully intact.

If it is not huge I would think a razor blade would pop it off the glass with out to much force.

That's what I thought too Denis!! Maybe I'm just whimpy.

I would say glass scraper or razor also. I like the 4in1 paint scraping tool that I use to scrape paint from glass works great too.

lets see a pic. I have never seen any sps attached to the glass

I had a lot of trouble recently removing glass encrusted sps from the tank wall. The piece was thick-branching. I had no choice but to break it up. I've had no trouble before with thinner branched sps's and just gently pulling/scraping.

Good luck Darren.
