    Thanks for the info inwall. I've got strawberry and purple haze encrusters i've been wondering how to frag. For the most part I think it's not going to be easy unless I chisel the rock underneath.

    If its a plating montipora, just snap it off... I've gotten tons of frags and never had a problem... I fragged my monti's in my old 5.5gal more times than I can remember... But like inwall said if its encrusting then use his method...

    this is real confusing. it slooks like a scrolling type and an encrusting type. i might just have to wait to see what it is. im leaning toward scrolling though now.
