So I am about to frag my first zoa's, any last words?

I got my gloves and goggles! Any advice on the actual process? Cutting, gluing?

 

Are they the more matted type or individual stems where they attach?

 

If they are on a rock, just chip off a little bit of the rock with the zoas..If you would rather just cut a few polyps off, you can just take the hobby knife and cut it very close the the rock, then just glue it to a plug/rock.

 

Try to dry the bottom of the zoas with a paper towel before applying glue. Use gel type crazy glue.

individual stems

 

Make sure you use a scaple type tool, very thin and sharp. That way when your cutting is a clean cut.
As one mention here, if its attach to a rock or plug try to cut it with the rock, rubble or plug.

As for glueing use very little on zoa and plays. Let it sit outside to give the glue time to dry and harden, dip the frag in water and leave outside again for a couple of minutes.

Glue: you can use almost any crazy glue, but I prefer I-C gel. The others seen to form bubbles around the frag. Try to put the new frag where there is not to much flow yet.

 

Have you seen this thread on fragging Zoa's?

 

When you put the heads in the glue, DON'T push down on them. If you push down they can become incased in the glue and may have a hard time opening.

 

make sure to dispose of any water you are using to frag them in immediately after. I've heard some horrible stories of pets drinking and dying from it
