When should I frag my frogspawn?

[BigMikeFlipz]

I have had a frogspawn for about 7 months and when I bought it at my LFS the salesguy got excited, he said he wished he had noticed but the one I got had about 3-4 small growths coming out about 1/5 to 1/4 inch form the base. It now has 2 large ones just shy of a dime size and about 4-6 smaller ones coming out. When is a good time to frag those off? I'll do some research on how to do so, but not sure if I cut those off the sides and move to their own plug, or just cut the base and move the main frogspawn to a new plug. The picture is early after lights coming on so the top/main is not fully opened up and the smalls are not either. But you should be able to see several of them.
Thanks for any ideas/advice!

Too small to frag...

What size should I let the head get before fragging off?

What’s the rush of fragging? Let it grow out a bit, then frag to your hearts content. Don’t cut through live tissue, only cut through the skeleton close to the base.

They should really be the size of the main head, they’re just baby polyps and ones that sprout around the base like that arent always viable

round about the same as the main head if it was me why you so keen to frag it anyways?

You can frag those little ones, but they take a long time to grow into much. If they are getting light now they may get bigger on the stalk. If the little ones get up to a half inch long they might be worth snipping then.

Absolutely no rush at all, lol, just asking if/when. Thanks for the help!

Just asking, the LFS salesguy acted like I should when I bought it. No rush for me, just learning!

It's more about how much "stem" is available. If you cut the skeleton too close to live tissue you'll damage and possibly kill the coral.

...cut the base and move the main frogspawn to a new plug

This might give the babies the best chance of survival, but also might not be necessary.
