Fragging a bubble?
 
What are your thoughts on fragging a bubble?
What are your techniques. I have areas a few different ways/stories of fragging this but not that re assuring. I wouldn't mind splitting mine in half or even quarters as it's getting fairly big. Well only about 8-10 across when it's out. What are your thoughts on this?

a bta? I personally wouldn't frag mine. I would wait for it to split or just let it get big. I have watched some vids of people fragging theirs. You need to be careful to do clean cuts and to get it through the mouth. If you don't it will die :sad:

For some reason I think of my bta as a fish more than an invert, and it makes me cringe thinking of cutting it in half.


as for a bubble coral, see this thread http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/f6...t=bubble+coral

Yeah I figured as much after I wrote my blurb. The link is for a bubble coral that a guy split, it has pictures too.

I have fragged my bubble corals many times. You need very strong clippers. And even had to use a hammer and chisel one time. They have a very strong, hard skeleton if you let them grow big enough.
