How to frag a frogspawn?

fishytime · #1 12-03-2011, 01:11 AM

its not easy but..... take a rubber band and put it around the wall frogspawn/ hammer in the area in which you plan to frag it....... Leave the rubber band in place for a couple of weeks....... The polyps will recede on that part of the frogspawn/hammer........ After all the polyps start extending to their former 'glory' you can take the frogspawn/ hammer out of the tank, remove the rubber band and run the wall through a band saw (like the Inland Band Saw) or a Dremel.

I just break it off with my hands. I've done it for alot for fellow reefers. The thicker peices I use sidecutters. By the description are you sure it's not a hammer coral?

It's a frog, I haven't seen another like it in any lfs, it has multiple nubs on each tentacle.

I'm trying to add a pic but on iPad and it sucks. There's a photo of the frog in my thread New Stuff.
