Fragging a bubble coral

[Heist]

Bump

Well I did it I cut my bubble coral and It went well.

So I used a cutoff wheel that did a great job and cut like butter.

I definitely was nervous but keep it together and after the first cut there was no turning back!

So I ended up with 7 large colonies and 2 medium colonies.

After cutting they got a rinse in a bucket and then a 15-minute iodine solution bath

Then glue to frag tiles and placed in the new 180 to heal

So I will update this post in 2 weeks. To update losses or success.

2 week update on the bubble coral. Well they all made it so far. Seems like the majority are 4 to 5 Inch colonies. Obviously won't be keeping all of them

I could be trading or selling in a week or two if anyone is interested

Read this string and didnt see, how long did you have that bubble for? I have never seen one that large. For future cutting, wonder if a diamond blade would be safer. I would be concerned of the dust that may introduce to your coral.

Very cool! I hope my bubble grows well like that. But I am happy to see that all pieces are looking good

Did you ever take a pic of that thing with feelers out while it was that big? I bet that looked pretty cool
