Well all the stocks that were cut from the original colony have regrown the heads. The frags that were made i actually sold or gave them away so unsure if they're STILL doing well, but after 1 week, only 1 head was lost from a plug due to hermit crab mowing.

Of the 24 heads that were duplicated from the original 12 heads that were sliced off, 23 survived after 1 week, damn hermit crab

That's a 95.8% survival rate

Just thought I'd update...
Current pics of original colony. Cant even tell the heads were chopped off

On the chopping block this time...Orange Rainbows

Great write up and pictures! Toss in some safety info (goggles, gloves, etc) and get it stickied!

Ya Mindy or one of the other mods can probably stiCky this. I'm glad you wrote this as I have some long polyps I want in a new frag plug for the other side of the tank. Glad to hear it has worked out as well !
