Fragging by Cutting the Heads?

[maverick451]

Is it possible to frag palys by cutting the head offs and then somehow securing these to a peice of rock to grow on?

I have a few AOG that have longish stalks and wanted to give it go but dont really know the procedure, has anyone tried fragging this way and if so how did they do it and was it a sucess?

I have done this on Paly's with big heads...I cut off the head and then place them on the new rock that I want them on...They are in an extremely slow flow area, so they don't blow off. But, sometimes I use bridal veil netting over the rock to keep them from drifting.

I think you would have better luck cutting some of the mat and gluing it to a plug

Ya, since the zoanthid retracts within the stalk, it wouldn't be a good idea to try to frag that way. Its not like a leather or mushroom.
