    Just fragged my first coral:D my Kenya tree was too close to some palys so I took an xacto knife, cut it in the tank, and then stuck it between two pieces of rubble that were rubber banded together.[​IMG][​IMG]before

    yeah kenya trees are the best to frag, its like they dont even notice it. alot of times mine doesnt even close up fully when i frag it. and it grows like a weed as well.

    I'd ditch that Kenya tree personally. I had one for a few months and it got to be annoying, every day it would break apart and attach itself to other parts of my tank. 3 months later I'm still finding little pieces here and there. They are very cool at first but not worth the work.
