How to frag Coral?

drstratton · Nov 17, 2015

I'm thinking of separating my Clove Polyp, but I've never done anything like this! I'm having a hard time eradicating Nudibranchs and finding the egg sacs. There is some rock on the bottom, but not a large amount! How do I frag this without damaging or killing it? Thanks!!!

If the purpose of fragging it is because of the Nudibranch, I suggest you look into dipping and placing the frag into a QT system to observe it.

Use CoralRX and/or Melafix.

That frag is starting to look like Okra.

Been there done that! Coral Rx, FW dip! LOL, it does kind of look like Okra! It's not very happy looking in this picture because it just had a bath in FW. It's in QT right now and has never been in my DT! I'm going to pick up some Bayer and try that, but some of the polyps are so tight together that I'm having a hard time finding the eggs sacs. I've already removed at least 15 egg sacs, at least 6 Nudibranchs after Coral Rx and one more after the FW dip! I just want to learn how to separate it without killing it! Thanks!!!
