I've found that just about every coral is fragible and using the right practices and patience you can have great success, is there a coral you wouldn't frag? or one that gives you trouble?
 
Although I've heard some people have done it, fragging any of the open brains (Trachyphyllia, Symphyllia, etc.) or a wall bubble coral scares me. There's just so much flesh that could become infected and kill the coral.

those are definitely scary ones to do because of all the flesh, I make sure to do a nice iodine dip after the cut and put in moderate flow for a few days to recover, I have great success with the symphyllias and wall hammers and torches, the bubbles can be a little touchy
 
Jawbreaker mushroom!

Scolymia australis.... never seen a cut one look good even a year afterwards. Don't get me started on cutting 2 in half and making a "frankenscoly"...
 
Dont think i'll ever cut this....could never live with myself if it didnt make it through.

hahaha I'm with you too darn expensive to experiment with scolys
 
I have an orange tongue coral
The store I bought it from has been around for 15 years and said they never seen one before. He still alfa me for frags and I have had it for 4 years
 
Considering I've killed two of these, I agree!
