Hello -

I would like to frag my large finger leather and green mushroom and give them to local reefers for free. However, I have never Frag them before. Is there anything I need to know before I start? I have a mixed tank with SPS, LPS, softies. Also, can I frag it in the tank?

Start small and slow, get a feel for how quickly they heal. The easiest way ive learned in the past with those types of coral to successfully frag is to cut them cleanly with scissors and then place the frags in a small container with rubble in it. As they heal they will attach to the smaller rubble and it makes them easier to pass around. If you decide to do a larger peice of the leather, placing a plastic tooth pick about 1/2 inch above the cut through it and rubber banding to a rock works. I posted a pic of that in another thread somewhere ill see if I can find it. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I generally took some water out in a large tupperware or something did my fragging, rinsed them, then put them back in the tank.
