Fragging Torch and Clavularia

I really need to frag my torch and pink glove badly. Any tips would be appreciated, since I have not done either. I am assuming on the torch, you make a cut on the skeleton as far away from the heads as possible, and the gloves are handled like zoa's?

 

I tried to read up on the torch. It seems that you just need to try to make a clean cut on the skeleton. Using a dremel with a diamond tipped cutter gives the necessary sharpness to do this without chipping or cracking the skeleton. Or a very sharp handsaw. Sheers were mentioned, but I cannot imagine getting a good cut with those.

 

As for the clavularia, if it has a mat to it, I would frag it just like GSP.

 

No mat. Thats why I was thinking like individual polyps/zoa's

 

gotcha....Hmmmmm. Will look somemore.

 

did you ever get that torch fraged? if so what did you use to cut the skeleton?

 

Actually I haven't yet. I had to move, and when I set the tank up I re-did the aquascaping which allowed the torch a lot more room. When I do frag it though, I will use some sort of handsaw. I dont like the power tool idea simply because it can be very harmful for a torch to ever leave the water colum, so with a handsaw I can make the cut while the coral is still underwater.

 

ok that was my thought to. away to cut it while still in the water. my buddy was taking of using something like bone sheers. medical tool used to cut through bone. it would be faster then saw. but the problem is where to get it

 

That would probably work. The only reason I wouldnt want to use shears is because I'd be afraid it would crush the skeleton more than cut it. But if it was something as sharp as a medical tool I wouldn't see why not at least give it a try

 

now i just need to steal one next time i end up at the hostipal. Where do you think they would keep one of those?
