How to frag my chili finger coral?

[johnf3]

I recently got a red chili finger and it is doing great. Not planning to frag it just yet but when it gets a bit bigger I think I’ll have to, it’s already starting to rub against the rock a bit. What’s the best way to frag these? Also should I frag while it’s expanded at night/morning or closed during the day?

Thanks

I just sliced mine in half basically, it was starting to frag itself anyway and so I just took a blade to it and succeeded.

Ok nice did you cut it when it was inflated or deflated? Also did you do any dips after fragging?

I cut it when it was deflated - These guys seem to only open when hungry but until then they close up.

As for dips, nope
