    Wow youtube has a ton of videos on fragging...I've never learned so much about fragging in 15 minutes before. It makes me want to go break into my friends house and cut off myself some xenia and star polyp! Too bad you can't frag clams...

    The white xenia in that pic is Heteroxenia same care but it and silver branching xenia are known to go to chemical warfare with each other I'm having a major issue with it atm in my 58 gallon I've lost several stalks of each of them cause their growing to close together

    I see two types in the pic. One is above the other. You are referring to the one on the bottom, right?

    A container with l/r rubble and a lid works better than the bridal veil method shown in that video.
    The way shown in the video only works if you chop the frag into pieces like it shows. Putting 1 whole piece under the veil is a problem because the "arms/hands" of the xenia will easily poke through the gaps in the veil. Thus causing a problem when removing it.
