    I'm scared to propagate it...i dont want to damage it...how hard is it to frag fungia...or how do you do it for that matter?

    I'll wait till it gets much bigger and breaks away from the zoanthid rock..maybe a new one will pop up once that happens..i've read that online...i might have my very own rare fungia factory on that rock!..lol

    I hear ya. I'm scared to frag all of my corals but I'm taking the plunge tomorrow by fragging my Toadstool.

    Here is an excellent article in propagating fungia sp. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-12/fotm/index.php
    I'd wait a bit till it gets a bit bigger. Usually it's advised that you frag a fully grown, healthy specimen.

    BTW, Congrats on the find;)

    I thought the same thing till i seen the second one at the bottom. If it was just the top one yes i would think it was photoshoped but the bottome one dont really look that way lol sorry dont mean to be an a** and i dont think your lieing. You get some frags let me know :)

    the only reason i would have thought the top one or either one is photoshoped is they are much better resolution then the rest of the pic aka the zoes it/they are very nice and would love to have some.
