Ya, maybe not recommend for beginners. Not sure wat the tool is call though, can use a table electric saw too. Use protective goggle and just push the lps through the middle or which part u intend to frag.

Sudden when u say saw it sounds very painful. So maybe I just keep it as it is first.

Please do not try cutting up ur elegance by bone Cutter. Their body structure is very fragile, it will just crush their body. Wat u need is a electric saw prefered or worst a chisel. I have tried on. There are always some risks to frag them.

Tank Theme: Mixed Reef with clams

3 feet tank with IOS

Eheim 1262

K3 wavemaker x1

Lightings: T5 actinic blue x4 , T5 white x4

Skimmer: BMQQ

Artica 1/5

Dosing: NA

Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.

BTW, our elegance detached from the skeleton, we ahve been keeping in a jar for 1 year and is still healthy. thus if you do frag and the flesh detached. dun let the bugger float ard

Did u frag it too? Doesn't it attach itself to another skeleton or does it only have 1 skeleton which it detached itself from.
