SRC Member rockfish Posted October 11, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted October 11, 2004 I've got some pics at my tank's thread For steps you can search for an old thread by me on mushie propagation Basically, you just hold the rock of mushie upside down and the specimens will droop down so its easier to cut You have to cut closest to the disk and make it one clean cut You can either leave the disk to grow again or you can further cut the disk into pizza shaped frags but they will take longer to grow to full size I know that initially, you will feel uncomfortable about cutting the corals but do it once and you'll definately do it again bro blue heaven, after reading ur instruction here stirred up my interest, and coincidently, the next morning, i found a piece of my green yumas dislogde from the rock and landed on my fav hammer. when i took it away, it stung my hamer badly melting away so of the hammer's tentacles .. in the fit of anger , an evil tot grows .. i decided to try fragging that fellow... i sniped that mushroom into half then put then back into the tank. i used a pvc pipe cut into short section to contain the frang in case they get swipe by the current and sting other corals again . i check it yesterhday nite, it already recovering from the cut. thats very fast ..

blueheaven Posted October 11, 2004 Author Share Posted October 11, 2004 Yes, the recovery rate is superb After one day, I can see my frags going back into its circular shape And good idea to vent your anger too Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other.

SRC Member rockfish Posted October 11, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted October 11, 2004 just now, while i do my daily stare at the fish tank, i saw 2 pieces of red base yumas that i bought on sunday going to dislogde.. so i took it out before it do the same thing to my other corals .. one of the pieces that came off was quite big.. bigger than a 50cent coin .. i'm thinking of fragging again .. anyway, i realised that the piece of rock that i bought, the yumas have been splitting alot .. .. how should i describle it .. some of the mushrooms look as though they were being scrambled.like "scramble eggs" .. look very messy but it is forming into many pieces of small and mid size mushroom .. will see if i'm so free until i decide to frag that big fleshy piece ..

blueheaven Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 You cut the disk into pizza slices and not the whole specimen. The base will grow back into a new specimen.

blueheaven Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 Bro DB once taught me that you can use a cut out plastic bottle to over the frags, somewhat like feeding LPS. Maybe that will help you solve your problem? And I am always available to help anyone to my best extent, just post the qns here Quote But if you tame me, we shall need each other.
