Fragging Colt Corals

[harlequin]

Anyone tried to frag a colt coral before ?

Have thought of slicing up one of large piece to multiple parts and maybe superglue it to a small rock.

This big one is growing too big in my current tank now.

can i get my hands on a frag if you decide to do it ???

It's beautiful - u should do it - after all keeping an aquarium is about learning and not everyone will have such experience - pity I can't watch u do it n pick up some tips

Bawater, Thanks for the links. will check it out before i start changing career as a Coral Doctor, slicing up lifeforms.

can imagine the smell on my hands already with those slime coming out...yucks...

if successful, will definately put them for trade.....

Bawater,

After reading the links, looks quite easy.

There's a couple of small rocks that i have in my current tank and will attempt to do soon.

if success, will give one piece to you mate.

steady!

so far i only tried mushrooms,everything else still too small except for a bubble & some leathers.

Guys,

Just decided to frag my giant piece of Colt today during the new year holiday.

Fragging Colt is damn stinky and slimy business. Now i cannot go and eat my nasi brayani with my fingers.

Anyway, here's the pictures of the mother colony and 3 big pieces of frags.

Need at least 2 weeks for them to heal and join to the small rocks.
