Default Removing sps attached to glass

I have a pretty good size piece of didgitata growing on my back glass any good ideas for scraping it off? Its growing great and is healthy but I will be breaking this tank down in the near future and would rather not kill it. Do they bond to the glass

Not sure Dale and I'm just guessing, but can you scrape a razor blade along the glass and pry it lose?

It will probably come right of the glass, I had a monti cap growing on the glass that came off with just a little tug!

They stick to the glass but don't really adhere so it should just pop right off dale.

As mentioned before, should just pop right off, but if it doesn't try a credit card, razor blade or maybe even just nudge it with the scraper blade of the attatchments for the mag floats (if you don't have one, u can use mine even)!

Sucks to hear your breaking down tho for sure!!!! If your planning on sticking around and need a tank even if its just temporary until u find something more whatever size your looking for, I still have my cube that Im not doing anything with right now and that 4' 70g! Let me know!
