|  Frag Station....finally got the guts
After much debate and hesitation i decided to frag my Xenia. I've fraged many other corals but never a Xenia due to thier softness. I sliced a good prtion (a bit less than half) off at an angle to the base and put it in a floating isolation staion. My urchin always picks up the best little LR bits to mount frags to....never too big...never too small, so i stole most of his camo and placed the Xenia frag on top of it. To my delight the frag also split and is already pulsing again after only 3 hours! Heres a pic.... _________ Yes, tiny has an 11" legspan......  |

Thanks! In the pic is a breeder box for live bearers. Serves as a refuge for fry or to keep feeders in the same tank as the "eaters". I use em alot, ususally i get single polyp frags (zoo's and corals) and put them in there with shells and LR rubble till they attach then i transfer them to my tank. | |
