Fragging a toadstool mushroom

[Reef Tank Engineer]

I was wondering if you can just cut the stalk of the mushroom and attach it to a rock. Will the remaining piece grow a new head?

[MinPhase]

Good question. I'd like to see the answer to that one.

Yes with both Sarcophyton and Corallimorphs any small amount of tissue left behind has the ability to grow into a new colony.

Yup very resourceful they are even if you scrub the stump it should grow back:):)

So can you trim a little tissue off the edge of one to propagate? Any toxin danger?

[reefwars]

Yea you can, you can snip anywhere Ann's it will rwgrow I just use elastic band to secure to a disk Ans it heals quickly.shouldn't cut leathers in your tank they will shed immediately after. If you must just run carbon afterwards:) after dragging it's important tjatthe water usclean to speed up recovery:)
