Fragging Colt and Kenya Trees
 
What started as 2 tiny little frags is now taking over my tank. What is the best way to remove som of them? Do you cut them near the base of try to rip them off the rock?

i know when fraging a colt coral thier are a few ways, what i foun works best is to tie something around a branch near the main branch and keep tighting it untill it closes off from the main coral then i just snip it with some real sharp sissors, then the fun part starts,tring to get the frag to attach is a whole problem by its self. gluing dosnt work well because of the slime and if you tie it or rubber band it to rock it seems to take a while to attach on its own

rip 'em at the connections with an exacto or scalpel from hospital stores.

Then if you want it to attach, you can either pray or sew it on to a rock, works great - I've even had SOME luck using glue, but that's only if the base is a bit hardened with some dead skin, that way it doesn't slime up.

Otherwise like I said, pray - and at some point it MIGHT attach to something, maybe! :)
