RnB Posted October 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 you take a perfectly healthy coral and hack it into bits and stick them to rock in your tank, and all going well they continue to grow and you get lots of little corals that each grow up into big ones. You often swap the little fragments (frags) with others to increase the different corals you have in your tank. Alois suggested fragging his purple tang, I am not so sure... maybe he has lots of spares :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 it all depends on what for mushies i usually just cut it off and pu ta peice of rock on it upside down and it will attach in a day or two if its something like xenia i use a toothpick and rubber band (a day or two) if its polyps cut them off and use super glue gel, i havent tried the epoxy cause i only have to stoney corals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HelifaxNZ Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I've been searching on a thread of how to frag. This is very good - especially RnB's explaination on how to 'hack' a coral. Is there any updates/experiences on other types of corals that people can post on fragging? Cheers HelifaxNZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhindry Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I have been fragging my pulsing xenia. Started with one large piece, took a sharp pair of scisors and cut the coral into four pieces. Placed them on pieces of live rock I had broken up and placed netting material around the rock and used a rubber band to hold it in place. Placed them back in the tank for about a week. Took the netting and rubber band off, making sure the xenia had fused itself to the rock and presto 4 pulsing xenia. Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
