    Hey there, I have a gorgeous pink wall Frogspawn that I would like to frag. Not sure what the best method would be if any. I asked my LFS and he said "don't do it." Any advice?

    Theres certainly a chance it may die but it is possible.The above video is the branching(paraancora) variety which is much less sensitive to fragging.Cutting wall hammers means you will have to cut the flesh of the coral leaving it more succeptable to infection.Dipping with iodine after cutting is strongly advised.

    Thanks for the video. That is also how I frag my branching Euphyllia. But this is a wall. I'm worried about cutting through the flesh.

    Dipping is always a good idea especially when handling and cutting corals.:)
