Frag request etiquette?

[revhtree Verified Admin]

We’ve all had the opportunity to see someone’s reef tank and want frags!

But is there a proper way to broach the subject? What’s the etiquette for requesting a frag?

I’m speaking more about an in-person request! Ha!

“Hey can I get a frag of that”

If you ever frag the PM I have a home for it.

Are you able to frag me some of that colony? I'll pay you for it

Be subtle I just dropped a hint that I was looking for a piece of purple monticap. A local reefer saw I was looking for a piece and invited me over his house Saturday to get a chunk and in addition to the monti I left with a pile of acropora that I had to scatter through out 4 tanks there was so much. I'm talking colony sized pieces by today's standards. I would never ask but he had a chunk of Walt Disney cut off and tossed in a cup before I knew what he was doing.
Happy holoween lol.

The gift box. Those are 1g bags. There are still some folks that don't care about $$

I'd just ask if they ever frag their corals. If yes, then express interest :)

Just reach your hand in there and grab it.

Just kidding. I've only expressed interest a couple times. I've always said something along the lines if they're interested, I'd love to get a frag. I always offer to pay as well.

That’s a beautiful coral! Can you show me how to frag it?

Just reach your hand in there and grab it.

Oops, I seem to have broken off a piece of your coral. Just let me drop it in this coral frag carrier that I just happen to have with me.
