how to frag this leather coral

how would i go about fraggin this coral?

 

just cut a branch off...simple

Kenya trees are very hardy and do not die easily. Take a clean pair of scissors or a brand new razor blade and slice a limb off. Should attach to a rock within a weeks time.

 

+1. Agreed. I have fragged this kind several times, and they seem to recover after about a week.

 

when i get close ot touching it, it pills in so i dont know how im gonna cut a piece off but ill try. thanks

 

You should still be able to see where the branches and stem are at. Cut it on the branch side.

 

oh ok i see it now thanks!!

 

You can cut it pretty much anywhere. We cut a small leather off of a rock, and it is doing well on the new rock we attached it to. Additionally, the stump we left behind is growing back!

 

wow thats cool! do you think an lfs would be interested in buying a few frags of it?

 

An LFS might be willing to trade for it. You'll want to get a little bit of rubble to attach your pieces to, and let them sit in your tank for a couple weeks to attach and heal up. Then take them, or pictures to your LFS and see what you can get. Keep in mind that sometimes it is worth giving things away to your LFS if you can build a relationship. Trust me, it will come back ten-fold. A couple of mine give me discounts every time now.

Good luck!

 

yea they know me as the lionfish guy at my lfs lol. almost all the people there know me by name which is good i guess.
