Coral Frags for teaching me how to frag

[tguns10]

My tank is overgrown. 120 Gal and I now want to frag/ learn how so I can add smaller pieces. I was hoping that someone with knowledge could teach me how/ show me how and in return they could have 2 small or 1 large frag of Leather tree coral, and one branch of Frogspawn coral. This weekend is great for me.

i dont need anything, but i can help you frag these.

leather ...

just take a sharp razor blade and cut the branchs that you do not want off, as close to the main stalk as possible.

to secure them just use a large needle and thread it with some yarn. pierce the frag about 1/2" above where you cut it and pull the yarn half way through. tie the yard around a piece of LR rubble with the frag SNUG but not real tight. it should attach in a few days to a week. place in a low flow area of the tank.

frogspawn ...

just use a pair of side cutters (dikes) to cut the branches that you do not want as close to the the branch, that it is a part of, as you can. use some plumbers epoxy on a piece of LR rubble and stick the frags stalk into the putty and squeeze it around the branch of the frag.

DONE !!

seeing makes a big difference...

go to www.youtube.com and search for "fragging" or "coral fragging" you'll find a bunch of different videos showing you all different types of corals being fragged.
