How do you like your frags

[spit.fire]

I've heard alot of different opinions on this

Do you like:
fresh cut unmounted
Fresh cut and mounted
Mounted and healed
Other?

Personally I like fresh cut and unmounted as I cut them off the plugs/disks the second I get them home

Agreed. I mount my corals directly to the rock and cut them off the plug, so really doesn't matter, but fresh cut always works best.

Fresh cut and unmounted for me. Then I can just do my dip, and not concerned with eggs on the base or plug.

Fresh cuts are mostly the way most sell, sometimes people grow and let them encrust before selling them, which is nice. Either one is fine with me...

Fresh cut and unmounted all the way! Frag plugs **** me off. If they're mounted to LR rubble, that works... but no plugs.

I do like encrusted. I can snap it off mount to rock and stick plug into other tank. I guess it's like insurance if one rtn

Fresh cut is great but I try not to be too picky cause im just happy to get them.

It depends where they are coming from. If they are coming from a local tank (store or hobbyist in my city), then fresh cut for me. However, if they are coming from far away and require shipping, definitely NOT FRESH CUT, and always healed (preferably encrusted) on frag plug!

Wow big surprise seeing how so many people like fresh cut, I myself prefer a healed up frag and it's a cherry on top if it's encrusting. It shows that the frag is healthy and growing and has less of a chance of rtn and stn'ing.

I think for most sps guys that's been around would like to get fresh cuts locally, shipping wise will be better to get encrusted pieces. less chance to get infected by pests.
