I have a plain green hammer that has to be fragged. What are the ways I can distribute? I would love to get something in return but don't know if this coral is worth it to anyone.

I frag things sometimes on purpose sometimes on accident lol. So far I have fragged coral to place peices in other parts of the tank, like a montipora that I accidentally shattered while trying to remove from the plug, on the brightside now I have 5 montipora.
I hope to sell frags locally in the future, mainly photosynthetic gorgonians since they grow fast and they are great for new and experienced hobbyists.
Thinking of selling multiple species in a gorgonian frag pack for $50 or so. First ive got to round up some more gorgonians to grow!

My tanks are all on the smaller size. My displays are all 32 or 34 gallons, so some trimming becomes necessary. I just had to cut up my favorite frogspawn, because it grew from 1 to 10 heads, was taking up an entire corner of the tank. The lower heads were getting totally shaded out and not doing well so it was time. My green slimer also got a significant trim, which also helps fill it out since multiple branches will usually sprout from each cut site. The monti caps require regular trims to stay manageable in such a tank. Seems like I accidently frag an sos every time I try to do something in the tank. I still have credit at an lfs after finally caving and pulling out an orange cap the size of a dinner plate from a biocube. I sell and trade stuff here and there. My wife convinced me to set up a frag tank and get some gear to do some shows, which were gearing up for probably early next year.
