First attempt at fragging.

SPLASH! · Sep 28, 2019

My fellow reefers,

I dove into the world of fragging and propagating this afternoon. I know it’s not much,but I started on an easy GSP. I didn’t quite yet have the nerve to start on anything else. However the frags started opening up a couple hours after putting them back into the tank. In a week or so I will frag my leather. Any one near Clarksville, TN in need of some GSP frags, I didn’t think that part through haha.

The leather I will frag next.

I just followed the steps outlined in this video:

Reef Spy had an easy to follow tutorial. Nothing fancy.

Nice and easy. Get yourself a good fragging kit from brs and a scalpel for leathers.. they also sell the extra thick frag glue in a large container for a reasonable price.

You can get a really deal on glue from Dynasty Coral with Josh Newman, and check out inlandcorals.com with Ron Boyer.

I fragged my devil‘s hand leather coral today. I was able to get 17 small frags. Now I have to wait and see if they attach.

And here they are all open.

Those drags look very good. Well done! The leather might be a bit harder. In my expirience i usually just let it drop fingers and glue the floaters down to plugs after it self propagates.

Fragging it was quite easy. I just cut off some of the longer lobes Off and attached them to the plug with a rubber band. The hard part was the rubber band it was too tight and split some in two. Fortunately most self attached to the plug even though they were split by the band.
