I have a 24g nano tank with corals and fish. I bought 3 different types of star polyp frags when I started and they have taken over the entire tank running into my candy cane corals and mushrooms and I want to trim them down any ideas on how? They are even intertwining with each other!!

if you decide to trim them down, sell them on this site, many people will buy.

first, their is a number of ways to do it. you can cut the rock up that they are on. or you can cut the base of each individual polyp. after you cut the polyp at the base, super glue it to a small shell, or LR rubble. then in time, it will open back up and contiunue to grow!
