    Has anyone sucessfully fragged a kenya tree. My Kenya has gotten to be about 7" tall and I would like to frag it while it is nice and healthy.

    That's one of the easier ones to do. Just cut off the piece you want to frag and tie or rubber band it to a new piece of rock.

    cut off a branch, rip off a branch, whatever. This is one of the most forgiving, fast growing, easy to frag corals ever. If you do not frag it, it will frag itself eventually. You will get to a point where the darn thing is dropping branches every week and you won't be able to keep up.

    Super easy to frag these. I cut limbs off with normal scissors and plant the cuttings in a tub of crushed coral in the DT. In around a week they grab on to the CC and can then be glued to a plug or a piece of rubble. My large kenya tree that I prune often seems to grow a lot faster than the smaller one I leave alone.

    Yes, exact same procedure.
