Zoa collection expanding

[Thespammailaccount]

Eight months new to the hobby. The colors of zoas are just amazing. Like a little patch of flowers. Need to frag some starting to overgrow their plugs. Never fragged a coral. A bit nervous done a ton of research. Hopefully I can trade some of these frags in as the garden continues to grow that would be great! Any advice for fragging zoas?

I normally use a razor blade to seperate the tissue from the main colony then cut the rock/plug underneath with bone cutters. Make sure you wear goggles, I got palytoxin in my eye 2 weeks ago and even though I rinsed it out within seconds as the sink was right next to me my eye was still bloodshot red, swollen and itchy for a week.

Search Bahama llama coral on YouTube. I came across that channel recently and I think a couple weeks ago (pretty recently) he put a video up on how to frag zoas. I’m not a big fragger either I like to let them frag off naturally but it seemed pretty simple. Your zoas look super healthy and vibrant so I’m sure they would recover quickly.

This is what scares me and why I keep procrastinating

Distilled water (due to extremely high chloramine from city water the irony is I have a 7 stage rodi and triple di with pre chloramine filter pre rodi I no longer use) high flow and high light
