How did you frag it? I was unaware it was possible.
People do it with the hobby band saws with a diamond blade. In mhy case it was a damaged coral . The dead part was cut away from the piece that was still alive.

Interesting. I always thought, based on 1- only full specimens available for sale and 2- being told that brains do not Frag , that they could not be.

Can all be fragged, or just certain species?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I've seen Trachyphylias, Wellsos, Lobos and elegence cut and healed. I have heard people are trying Scoly's as well. By no means am I saying it is safe to do though. If you are interested I seen some threads on RC quite a will ago in the LPS forum and I think the propagation forum on this.

Not to vere too far off from track but I've seen Some members on here have chopped up elegance and other corals.

I had a welso brain coral that was in awesome shape and one day had a huge piece of rock fall on it, 1/4 of it was badly damages skeleton showing and flesh peeling back. I was so ****ed that happened and hoped for the worse, 2 weeks later it was healing itself and by the one month mark was back to normal.

I've seen lobos cut and the flesh healed quickly too, I do believe if you cut a coral in half it definately helps for it to be a clean cut so it can heal faster. I don't have the guts to cut pieces up nor do I want to take the chance on a nice show piece and maybe lose it.


But back to the FS post!
