Anyone ever fragged a pagoda?

I am thinking of it, but I am wondering if you can cut the polyps hanging over the side and glue to a plug, or do you need to keep the polyp and skeleton together?

you need to take a piece of skeleton with it, and im pretty sure a large one, because the edges are likely to die. but should eventually grow back over.

polyp and skeleton need to stay together. i use a wet tile saw when i frag them, but you CAN use a pair of side cutters and cut off a few polyps and glue the skeleton to another rock (although i prefer NOT to use this method). i am working on some fragging videos for another site, when i get them ready i will see if they will allow me to post them here also.

i guess i can add a pagoda cup to the list for ya !!

Thanks! No wet tile saw here ( whatever that may be) and I don't want to hurt it cause it is one of my top 3 favorites!

i am working on about 10 videos right now. they still have to be edited and all that good stuff, so it could be a little while (couple of weeks or so). just bear with me.

What kind of videos are you doing?

[Reef-Keeper]

fragging of acros, plating monti's, branching montis, many lps's and some shrooms and toadstools. mostly the common corals that everyone has, but i may throw in a few of my own more rare and harder to frag species.
