The fragging experts thread

[JoJosReef]

All things fragging. Fragging advice. Fragging flexes. Fragging Fails. Show us what you got.

I'll start. I am no expert, but one day, when we hit 100 pages on this thread, I will be!

Starting simple with zoas. It is still aggravating. Sometimes I can shave off polyps beautifully, sometimes they dump brown ooze on me.

Most importantly, I am ready to level up! Next on the fragging block: Pink Nepthea aka Koji Wada aka You Know You Wan'a

Top down:

This guy is getting big and blocking the view of everything behind it. I am thinking it's time to frag it and restart a small one. How would you do this?

Maybe these red lines with a razor?

Maybe take the top one and split it further into 4 cuts?

Side view, there are two more branches in the back:

Top view, up to 6 cuts:

What to do with the stump? Will it melt or start sprouting branches?

I frag by hand. When I put my hands in the tank I break coral and the pieces become new frags. I'm a bit of klutz.
I do have some neon green sinularia I should frag but I can't bring myself to cut it. Interested to see how your nepthea turns out.

Good idea for a thread!

I've been fragging all sorts of corals for many years and have recently toyed around with the idea of starting a youtube channel showing methods that anyone can use, with tools that anyone can obtain inexpensively.

I don't have time right now, but will post some of my ideas and pictures tomorrow.
