Fragging the corals is easy. Just get a sharp razor blade and cut off one of the stalks. Then, attach the frag (loosely) to a piece of rock with a rubberband. Voila  |
Is that a dirty little Bichon in your pic amcarriag? I had one for a long time.
So I just use a sharp blade and cut off one of the "stalks?" Do you think corals feel pain??
I saw one guy stick a toothpick through a coral, cut below the toothpick, and then wrap a rubber band around a piece of LR and around the tooth pick. Then, once the coral attached itself, he removed the band and pick. Is that a good idea?
Ok, so I want to do this in the next couple days. I just need a pair of latex gloves, a new box cutter or razor, a rubberband, toothpick, live rock rubble...what else? Do I need to clean it with anything after I frag it? Do I cut it out of the tank? And if I disinfect it with something like iodine, do I just put it back in the tank with the iodine on it?
Thanks
