Hi all, long time listener first time caller.
I got a plug the other day with a couple Rhodactis mushrooms attached and I wanted to get the rock they were on off the frag plug. Long story short the “rock” they were on was a bunch of sand mixed with small rubble pieces and super glue and it...
Hey everyone. Due to my tanks getting nuked thanks to an apartment building fire during a nice frigid April, I’m officially on hiatus from the hobby. Since I’m not setting up anything until actually buying a house, I figure it’s time to offload all my extraneous equipment and start fresh build...
Hello everyone, I’m new to owning Pectinia. Interested in the way this one is growing, which is why I bought it. Curious if anyone experienced with fragging these guys or growing them, knows if this one may morph together into one organism or if it could/should be fragged into 2? Thanks in advance!
In the past couple of weeks, I've lost two frags of utter chaos that I recently cut. I missed with my cutters and sliced a polyp in half, so each of the two frags had a half a polyp rotting away.
I dont iodine dip new zoa frags.
Going forward, should I slice off mangled polyps and dip in...
At this point in the hobby it seems as though everyone is constantly growing, fragging, and trading their corals. I wonder if anyone has any idea how this impacts the harvesting of wild coral for the hobby? Such as what percentage of hobbyist corals comes from the ocean nowadays and if this...
I have some awesome firework cloves that jumped to an SPS/LPS island and grew out of control. Never had them grow so fast, and I want to trim them away from a sunset Monti, acro, and space invader pectinia. Any advice on how to proceed? Don't want the trim to domino back and kill the rest of the...
so I tried fragging coral for the first time today. Something very easy, Xenia coral and some green polyps. Had all the tools and seemed like it was going great. Cut off a piece of Xenia and brought it over to my fragging station.......which was my sink, When I tried to get the piece of Xenia...

I’ve had coral in my 20gal tank for roughly a year now, with mostly Zoanthids and Palythoas. I am yet to attempt a fragging due to not wanting to crash my tank. I have a massive colony of Reverse Space Monster palys that needs to be fragged, it has spread to multiple rocks and is starting to get...
I did this video a few weeks ago in preparation for the TCMAS Expo in MInneapolis. I may post some of these on R2R once I learn how to do the shipping. Maybe that gets easier in the summer. If you know about shipping please comment here or on youtube. Thanks for watching!
The author of this article, David Smith, has a small zoanthid business in Youngstown, Ohio. He is an expert on the care of zoanthids and did a special piece for us on how to frag zoanthids effectively.

New to this forum and after searching everywhere can't seem to find a good answer. My question is, How do you frag coral that is one a really big rock or on a piece of Rock that provides structural support to the rest of your rocks? Im assuming i can frag in the tank if i cant remove the rock...
I have some Paradise zoas that I acquired from LC. Fortunately they are growing very well and are outgrowing their plug. I have fragged zoas many many times with great success. With that said, I have never fragged zoas that are this tiny. Can any one provide any tips when fragging these tiny...
Hello experts,
Ive been thinking about fragging and propagating, increasing the growth of a colony.
When it comes to SPS to me looks fairly simple, its a waiting game cutting colony wont make it grow faster or will it?
Im specifically thinking about LPS and encrusting corals, if you have lets...
