My son just pointed out that my mushrooms just

dropped 2 new babies. He wants one for his nano tank. I’ve never fragged a mushroom, any tips?

These things are bullet proof. I've heard of people slicing them through the mouth into two pieces to frag them. I ripped off my expensive $80 yuma mushroom off a rock to move it, and it was fine! Just try to gently get it off of the rock. If that's not possible I don't know how you'll get it to his tank but I'm sure there are other ways. Just don't do what I did!

I was thinking maybe use a razor blade where it is attached to the rock, then dipping it in iodine and rinse? What do you think?

I think that would be fine. I know nothing about the iodine dip though, but I don't think it'll hurt.

My son ordered 5 wysiwyg rfas but they sent him six. Because of the size he kept two and gave me four. I wasn’t expecting much since they were only $50 but they are really nice.

What is it. Super cool
That my friend is a porcelain crab, also called an anemone crab because they like to be hosted by anemones. They are filter feeding so the constantly are waving their fan like appendages.

Sweet. I have two that are brown/green that came in my live Rock from the gulf. The fan appendages are cool. Didn’t know what they were so thanks.

I gave away one frag of my chalice and have been waiting to take the other to my lfs . But the mother colony needs fragged again I was thinking of keeping the smaller one and taking the larger one to the lfs.

Since the third day I got him he has not left this acan. I was hoping he would settle in one of the rfas but as usual he has a mind of it’s own.

My little peppermint shrimp is becoming a little less reclusive. After it and his comrades cleared my tank of aptasia 6 months ago.

The clowns have spent the day in my chalice, there isn’t many more corals they haven’t tried to be hosted by. Pictures far because if I get to close they swim up thinking they will be fed.
