how to frag a duncan?

how do you frag a duncan?

 

Not my post but this should help
Page 318 of Calfo's Book of Coral Propagation (Second Edition) is on Duncanopsammia axifuga fragmentation. He suggests using a dremel blade to cut the Duncan at the base of the branches. Small Duncans can be scored with the blade and then broken with a flathead screwdriver.

 

alright thanks man!

They have a VERY dense skeleton just like a Stylophora. You can't just snap them like you could a Euphyllia. I use a diamond blade on a Dremel. Occasionally, your Duncanopsis is thin enough that you can use one of these. Millers Forge Large Dog Nail Clipper - - Shopping.com

 

i just took a set of angled wire cutters and cut it in half.

yeah my angled cutters worked perfect. it scored it and snapped it right down the middle perfectly and now they are just fine!

 

dog nail clippers or bone shears work great.
