The unfraggables

All corals are fraggable.

All corals are fraggable.

I have to agree. There are corals that are touchier than others, but I cannot think of one type of coral that cannot be fragged. Bubble corals, Wall Hammers, Brains, Plate Corals, etc. Now there may be different fragging methods that work better than others, but I'm pretty sure that every type of coral can be fragged. The one coral that I am just a little unsure about would be heliofungia. I've just never heard of anyone fragging it. It seems like you should be able to do it because its a plate coral, but its just soooo touchy.

I've fragged every coral under the sun... Scolymia, trachy etc... etc.... Every coral can be cloned, however the method and post care of some are more important than others. Scolymia can be cloned without slicing them in half as well, however it's extremely difficult and I don't recommend attempting it unless you are prepared to lose many of them before doing it right. haha

ORA Purple Pillow....Everyone I know who has fragged this either loses it completely or it STN's back to a frag size

Myzislow is actually growing out a frag of that and it looks great. His system is SPS friendly though, everything in there looks amazing.

I am SPS dominate as well...This corals does fine for the longest time, once I frag it I lose it. If I move it I take a chance of losing it. I need to get another piece

correct! Its all in how its taken care of when fragging and after its been fragged. Ive fragged a number of things with better luck than most.

i've seen a fragged plate coral and 1 of about 30 lived to grow again

Great stuff. I do believe everything is fraggable, but some items have a pretty low success rate, also if it's gonna tank forever to look "normal" again, I would say that it is not practical.

haha I personally witnessed the mad scientist Kraylen during the peak of his experimenting. I still remember walking into his room and seeing a pile of various fungia chunks scattered throughout his tank.

Bryan who used to work at Atlantis used to do some pretty crazy fragging as well; scolymia included. His actually sat in the store long enough for him to witness the skeleton and tissue reforming into a round shape.

Here is a pic of one of the more established frags that I took during my last trip to ATL:
