Bubble coral?

[Jameshong]

Hi ,

Do anyone know how to frag bubble coral? or can it be fragged ?

My 9 months old brown bubble is opening bigger and bigger since day one and due to space constraint , so i'm thinking of fragging it into 2 pcs .

From my observe, the bone is not difficult to chop into 2 pcs but my concern is the fresh! Will the fresh of the bubble recover itself after fragged ?

Can any expert advice me, pls ?

I bet it can be fragged. Here is my story. I wanted a bubble coral so badly and while while i was snorkling i saw a big bubble coral growing underneath a cave, . I had two options, to remove the hole coral or to frag. i went for the last option. On my next trip i went with a chisel and a hammer. I removed two pieces from that big coral and brought home. put them into my aquarium and its still living. Take my word for this and go ahead and cut that baby into half. but be cautious, try to find if you could, a path inbetween the bubbles. run your finger on top of the bubble and you will feel like a small path inbetween. put a chisel and frag it. after that put them under moderate current. thats all. good luck and happy reefing.

Can understand why very few keep marine aquarium... cos you just need to take a swim in the sea in maldives and you can see marine nature at its best... making us so envious....
