whats the best way to frag a kenya tree coral?

 

[twilliard]

rip it off at the base
Stuff can grow like weeds

 

[inkmates]

lol that might work for a smaller coral this guy is 6-7" tall and about as big around at the base as my wrist i'll try to post a pic or two tomorrow.

nothing a pair of scissors or a razor blade can't handle...haha...

 

[twilliard]

that stuff will literally peel off. Oh and if you leave a little piece behind it will keep growing.

Lets see a pic, it must be a nice specimen!

ohh I think I strayed. If you want to frag it just take a piece off at a branch base.

Kenya tree drops branches when it thrives. You should see a knot where it looks like it wants to separate.

yeah kenyas drop branches so fast and multiply so fast you cant keep up lol all you have to do is rip off a branch just like everyone else said and it will grow from that...ive acidentaly ripped off branches and they just sprout up in a matter of a day heh

your not kidding. In the last week my big kenya (6-7 inches tall) dropped almost a dozen.

inkmates, the best way is to pull, rip, or cut. your not going to kill it.

Cut with a sharp blade or scissor. Then use a bridal net to wrap it around a piece of rock. Make sure its not too tight and not too loose. Then put this on a low flow area. Wait for several weeks for it to attach to a rock.

Then your good to go.

dang... thats a nice bushy one too. seems mine grow up rather than out.

 

[inkmates]

try turning the rock its mounted to on its side so that more light gets to a new area, I've got some huge mexican turbos that move everything thats not bolted down so mine is always getting shifted

 

[burning2nd]

high flow keeps em growing a little slower... they just drop a lot more...

you can pinch them off with your finger, and stick them to a rock... it will grow..

you dont have to wait weeks... it happens in days in good water conditions... this softie is hardy and doesnt require much.

ive had low flow/no flow low light no light, its hardy for sure.
