    I have a few palythoa that hitchhiked in on my rock. Can I uproot them somehow and move them all together in one spot?

    Are they easy enough to pry off the rock?

    I have no idea. I didn't want to try that before asking around.;D

    I guess a better question would have been: can palys be fragged the same way as zoas?

    yes they can, easiest way if they are on a rock is take a screwdriver and hammer and chisel them off with some of the rock, i wouldnt try to scrape them off
