frag info needed

[zeddy]

Super easy. Just clip the skeleton down near the bottom away from the living tissue of the polyps. Clippers like these work well. http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/ba-scutter/Stony+Coral+Stainless+Steel+Cutters.html

Or if you like power tools you could use a dremel. http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-11/fotm/index.php

what info are you looking for? if its how to frag it just use a cut off wheel with a dremel type tool or i've used just the large frag snips to snap off branches. depending on the location the coral has grown in in the tank with flow and what not, the branches may be brittle and you'll be able to just snap pieces off by hand.

I've also just pulled them apart with my hands. Candy Canes are easy. :)
