Oh that sounds cool! So you're fragging the xenia showing that you can repopulate the reefs indirectly by not needing to take the xenia from the reefs anymore in the first place? LOL or what?

YES! thats what i think we should do for all corals... The sad thing is...in a a decade or 2...there will be no reefs so its up to us to keep the buggers alive!...that is unless alot changes to help the reefs out | |

Actually, I think I'm finally going to take the plunge tomorrow and snip my colt. That thing has gotten HUGE! I've only had it a month! I might snip my xenia while I'm at it. I read some articles on LPS fragging, but it seems like that is still a pretty new thing, and it hasn't quite been figured out. The articles I read say some stuff about sawing the skeleton in half, but the hammer frag at my lps looked like a few polyps stuck on a rock, no skeleton. Also, my yellow polyp frag reproduced already....but just one polyp, and it's clear on the other side of the tank from the rest of the colony! Not sure what happened there. | |
