Help with fragging

[Naso2]

In all my years I have never done it please give me some insight because my kenyas, xinia, gsp, button polyps, leathers, and the like are over running my 100g.

Razor blades or sharp scissors
You can cut the polps off with a razor blade in one motion. Dab On a paper towel them super glue to the new piece

Leathers you just cut off a dime or bigger size chunk whatever your willin to do. Then rubber band them loosely to a piece of rubble or whatever you are attaching them too

Kenya or Xenia I've never done but I'm guessing it's one of the two
Probably just super glue gel until tacky them attach the branch or whatever you cut off to the plug or rubble you've chosen.

Hope this helps. I wouldn't be afraid. Most things are hardy and pretty easy to do beside hairy mushrooms and yumas.
They don't like to stay where you put them lol
Then you get a cup of rubble with a clear net over top and toss your chunks in and after a few weeks they will attach themselfs.
Good luck. Take pics.
I've had mine out f water for up to a half hour. And everything has survived. So no need to really rush. Just don't put it ontop of your lights so it bakes your frag like I did
I forgot it up their. Half of it died

Very easy for all Kenya, GSP, and Xenia i clip 4-5 and rubberband the bottom to a piece of rubblerock (GSP you can glue, stuff, or rubberband). Leathers i cut a 1-2 inch piece from the rim and rubberband it onto rubble rock. Button Poylps i wear gloves and safety glasses and cut or razor blade between the rock and poylp to remove. I give ALL a Iodine bath ofter the fragging then place on a frag rack or a stable location in my tank for a 1-2 weeks.
You can also find good visuals on You Tube on how to frag _______ (place what you want to frag in lined area) that can help for sure. Enjoy and once you do a few youll see how easy it is, buts its always scary the first few times.
Post Pics once you done some.

Ooo ya I forgt about dipping. I never did but the coral I got from my buddy weren't very healthy. I have them a rx bath and cleaned them up and in 3 days they were open beautys.
I woul always dip now if I could find my bottle of RX, it can't do anything but help

With the xenia, and also anthelia, i just use my fingernail under where its attatched and peel it off. Then, because i dont like much of it in the display, i just toss it in the sump and it attatches to whatever. I like it when it attatches to the overflows or the baffle in the sump.

Thank very helpful, what about LPS such as frogspawn, hammer and acans

 

[sedrostyle]

Dremel or break the heads off / hack saw?. Super glue to new plug or rock.
Acans I am not sure but from what I've seen you put plug all around them and let it grow outward onto the plugs or tile and then cut off.

 

[Naso2]

thanks i will be fragging tonight. I want to start slow just to make sure everything goes right

 

[DTECH07]

Post pics when you can.

 

[pandora32]

With acans you need them to close. Then you can ise a frag saw and cut between the heads. Frogspawn and hammers, you just use a saw or bone cutter and cut the stem. Just make sute you leave enough stem on the frag so you can glue it down.

I just cleaned the acrylic and gave a bunch of the xenia away as well as 3/4 of my cheato. Ill post a pic here tomorrow after everything in there calms down and opens back up. Also put a kenya down there.

 

[sedrostyle]

I should've hit you up for cheato my last golf ball size disappeared. I need a better system setup for my fuge area

 

[pandora32]

Skagit county to kitsap county, long drive? If you need any, let me know. Ill probably need to thin it again in a couple weeks. Seems to really like my dirty water!!...hahaha

 

[sedrostyle]

Haha ya long ways. I can find some closer. I think falkon in Seattle had some for me. I may be meeting up with kitsapdan here soon for a skimmer.
I want to keep my tank even cleaner than I have it now so my sps can take off.

 

[pandora32]

Ok. Heres that pic of my fuge.

 

[sedrostyle]

See I need to move my fuge to the middle of my sumo instead of at the end so I could have a better area for cheato
