ok. telling me to use a dremel doesn't exactly explain how to frag it. do I cut off the pieces that look like clumps of tubes? as for the floor/wall trick... sounds like the same way I'd frag our dishes! :lol:

Basically you'd be cutting away a hunk of coral probably trying to ensure 1-3 polyps remain.

Most LPS are fragged the same way one would frag dishes... There's a video kicking around from a session at imac/macna/similar - of one of the former RC experts demoing fragging a big acan lordhowensis colony - with nothing more than a hammer.

As much as some people like to complicate things, it is nothing more than breaking pieces off. As hard as some people make it - think of nature, big storm blows through, surf pounds the reef, rock /coral /outcropping falls - new colonies are created - unless settled into a unfavorable environment. As we control the environment they 'land' into - it's just a matter of mechanically separating the corals.

There are very few corals that are much beyond cut / break piece off. Those are ones that aren't generally thought of as 'fraggable' to begin with (anemones come to mind - even though even those have been proven to be quite simple to frag)

thank you AndyL! that is basically what I was asking. :wink:
