Mushrooms are very easy to frag, just make sure you get a piece of the mouth with every frag. Leathers are also pretty easy to frag (just clip a piece off) but I would do this out of the main tank as they can release all kinds of nasties into the water when being fragged. Also, don't frag too large of a piece off at one time as you don't want to shock the coral too badly.

I think for mushrooms the easiest way to frag them is to cut them up like a pizza. And as Harvey said make sure you get a peice of the mouth with each peice..

Ive never tried fragging leathers. When you say clip a peice off. You just chop a peice off and glue it to rubble or...? A little more detail please...?

sounds fun and exciting, haha! that just means i have to start my 20gal again for frags, or 10 lol

There is no way glue will hold down any softie frag. The best way to get them to attatch is the old needle with fishing line trick. Pierce the frag with the needle and fishing line and wrap the fishing line around the rock/plug.

Another method to try is the put in container with low flow and rubble technique. Another one is the rubber band them down technique which almost never worked for me. Last but not least is the skewer frag with toothpic and wedge toothpic in rock technique.
