Zoas - How to Frag?

[Ketchup]

Hi guys

Thinking of fragging some zoas as some of it has grown a lot and outgrew the small rock/coral chip that we have glued it on... Just clip it or what?

Depending if you can chip the rock it is spreading to.. if can, just take penknife, cut the matting and use a screwdriver to chip the rock with the zoas attached.

The way I do it is slightly simpler.

Select a cluster of at least 3 polyps (IMO it ensure better success) near the edge and slice the mat to isolate the 3 polyps. Use the pen knife to scrap mat (and the 3 polyps) off the rock gently. When you scrape of the mat, try to scrape off some of the rock surface together so that the mat still sticks to a layer of rocks. Then just supper glue the base of the mat or the layer of rock onto a plug, new rock or the reverse of a small mosaic tile. This method work for me. Find it less destructive to the main colony.
