Typically with anemones, in order to propagate, it’s a matter of over-feeding them until they grow so big that they have to split.* With maxi-minis, you can actually frag them – cut them like a piece of pizza, making sure to cut a portion of the mouth as well and viola, you have two!* As with anytime you frag a coral, extra care must be taken in order to ensure that both pieces don’t get infected and can recover quickly.* Iodine dips and dosing with Vitamin C are two ways I recommend to keep your maxi-mini’s healthy after fragging.

Ric's will generally split or shoot off little Ric's on there own. If a Ric has 2 mouth I think it can be cut but should split on there own in time.
