How did you frag it? I was unaware it was possible.

People do it with the hobby band saws with a diamond blade. In mhy case it was a damaged coral . The dead part was cut away from the piece that was still alive.

Interesting. I always thought, based on 1- only full specimens available for sale and 2- being told that brains do not Frag , that they could not be.

Can all be fragged, or just certain species?

I've seen Trachyphylias, Wellsos, Lobos and elegence cut and healed. I have heard people are trying Scoly's as well. By no means am I saying it is safe to do though. If you are interested I seen some threads on RC quite a will ago in the LPS forum and I think the propagation forum on this.

Not to vere too far off from track but I've seen Some members on here have chopped up elegance and other corals.

I had a welso brain coral that was in awesome shape and one day had a huge piece of rock fall on it, 1/4 of it was badly damages skeleton showing and flesh peeling back. I was so ****ed that happened and hoped for the worse, 2 weeks later it was healing itself and by the one month mark was back to normal.

I've seen lobos cut and the flesh healed quickly too, I do believe if you cut a coral in half it definately helps for it to be a clean cut so it can heal faster. I don't have the guts to cut pieces up nor do I want to take the chance on a nice show piece and maybe lose it.


But back to the FS post!
