Fragging a Duncanopsammia axifuga updated with pics Jan 3-09

just curious, about how long was it in contact with the bad guy to inflict that much damage?

Noir, fragging elegance is very difficult as it is already a sensitive coral. A Jewellers rock saw with a diamond wheel is usually whats recommended for elegance to ensure a nice clean cut, also make sure both pieces being cut have mouths.

Yikes, sounds tricky. I might be affraid of killing the whole thing. I'm hoping I'll be fine for a few years yet.......I hope. Thanks.

I really don't think it was that long. The Hydronorpha can get upset very quickly when something touches it. It send out white stringy things that are very sticky. I'm sure that when the Whisker coral retracted it pulled the white strings with it and they eventually covered the openings.
