Bruh. @F i s h y and I wouldnt mind if youd mail us a piece :)
Yeah, I could probably do that. It's getting too big. I'll need a step by step protocol for fragging it, prepping it, packaging it and sending it, because I have no idea. I do have one of those heat wire things for sealing plastic pouches in my lab that we use to seal products.

Here's my imagination of how it would go:
1. Find something sharp, start cutting branch
2. Glue it to a piece of rubble or frag plug. If it's oozing, try fastening it with something else
3. Leave it a week or two to heal
4. Find plastic pouch, fill halfway with water, insert coral, seal with heat wire, put in another pouch, seal with heat wire
5. Put in smallish styrofoam shipping box
6. Add hand warmer?
7. Take to UPS
8. Pay bazillion dollars to ship
9. Everyone gets fancy kenya trees!

I cut mine with scissors, rubberbanded to a rock rubber

As far as shipping goes... Not sure. Thats where I have less experience.

But I plan to look into it (and would cover shipping from you)

I also have some I wanna ship out to peeps.
