i wish i could get the guts to frag it. i havent fragged a monti yet and i'm nervous about killing it. anyone have a good way to frag it?

I can understand your fear, its such a beautiful piece.

Whenever I've seen cap coral fragging usually it involves people pulling the "leaves" back like when you pull leaves off a head of lettuce....

Talk to Wendell, he just fragged up a piece that looks just like yours :biggrin:

Colin it looks similar to what people are selling as "pokerstar" monti. I am not sure of the exact genus, I'll have to look it up.
Sweet piece of M confusa. Is that taken under actinics?
Monti's are super easy to frag and heal up well. Just get the cutters out and hack away. I'll take one. Anything of mine you want to do a trade on?

This is what I believe to be the pokerstar monti.
