    Per request, 3reef has a new board in the reef forums - Frags!

    A frags forum for sharing coral propagation tips and techniques. The evolution of coral fragging has been a blessing for the reef aquarium industry and the environment as a whole. Aquaculturing corals is fun. Get started today!


    Enjoy! :)

    Thank you Matt for answering my request. For your first task.....I just purchased a medium sized rock full of metallic green mushrooms and right in the middle is a colony of zoes growing. There are probally about 8 in the colony. I want to remove them from the rock and attach to a different piece. How can I do this without killing anything?

    Thanks, Cari

    use a razor blade cutting into the rock under the zoos to take them off the rock.then use superglue gel to glue them to another rock.i'm sure you know this,but they are poisonous.

    I believe that I have successfully transplanted my zoes. Now, I want to try and propagate my ricordia and star polyps. Some help please.....;)

    Thanks Ziggy. :) Get my pm by the way?

    How about starting a thread in that wonderful new board and giving it a test drive! :)

    I was thinking about this... how about I add a classifieds as a sub forum of Frags?
