Frag of corals needed

[ZeRoC00l]

Anyone got frag of corals, or marco algae to sell/ give F.O.C. ?

My tank cycled and very empty...

I dun mind paying a small fee for the frags

Thank you

Better than buying large chunks of corals! Good idea.

pardon me, but what are "frag of corals" exactly?

something like "breaking" off a part of the coral??

sounds like an interesting process..and cheaper too~

Frag = short slang for 'fragment'

Frag = to blow someone to bits

To frag corals = something to do with both... heh... ie. to carefully break a coral apart so as to create two or more pieces to either save part of the coral from a diseased part or to propogate into new 'sister' colonies.

Geddit?

Just to clarify, not all kind of corals can be frag or easily frag without causing damage to the parent colony.

Most frag corals are those of the SPS (small polyps stoney) group. Frag are usually small branch/branches from 1" to 3". These branch/branches are then glued to LR where it will grow into a large colony over time.(May take a very long time)

i've tried with mushrooms(take a parent & slice directly in half with a sharp blade) - takes forever to get round again, but soft frags heal faster than hard coral.(but it all depends on your tank).
