What I did recently was cut my colt and tied the frag several times around a piece of rubble with some fishing line. I tried the toothpick/rubberband method and it just cut right through the frag. The problem with corals like colts and kenya trees is they slime out and dissolve the super glue. I'm not trying to sound pompous or arrogant, but I think the way I did it has the best results. Just my opinion. _________ 125 Gal Reef.

well i was thinking of fragging my kenya tree is it better to use glue or a rubber band
| rubber bands are the way to go on soft corals
super glue only works on hard corals and you dont let it dry first

I am going to try a needle and thread, next time  | |
