How does everyone control Zoanthid growth, or containing them from spreading to different rocks? Or even eradicate a whole type that’s getting outa hand? Other then trying to cut them off, its to tedious on coarse rock. Is there any easier way?

Napalm and holy water are really the only things that work on paly's and zoas.
I use small removable rocks pressed up against the zoas. You can use them for frag rocks or like I do take the rocks out on a regular basis and scrub them of any new zoe growth. If you want to get rid of them completely I use Red sea Aiptasia X

i second Kmans comment.
Just frag and sell. I love zoas, i refuse to pay ridiculous prices for tiny frags, but my tank will prob end up being 60% zoas.

They don't like sand bed much so try to isolate the rocks with zoos from the main rock work. A zoa garden looks nice and keeps it neat plus little lr rubble becomes a plug making fraging one cut.

I've got a similar problem I used a high powered laser on the ones I don't want and it worked. Now I normally frag them but sometimes they are in a spot you can't remove without damaging something else so I laser blast them. Also works for zenia
Very interesting what type/kind of laser do you have.? This could help a lot of other reefers too.
