Use a dip solution? My luck at fragging any stony corals has been abysmal... my softy frags all seem to do fine... but I just don't want to decimate what was a beautiful bright powder blue colony...

Aaaargh! I'm still thinking about the axe!

Don't let it get to you. I have had the acro flatworms and the red bugs, still waiting for those monti nudibranchs

The best luck I have had fragging is just trying to handle the pieces as little as possible. Also, I you are going to glue the frag to a rock, I have heard it is beneficial to glue the healthy end, as the cut end will heal fast and there is less risk of recesion. I don't always follow this though....

Good luck!
