Miami Hurricane fragging

racin2438 · Mar 7, 2015

What's the best way to frag this coral...we have a piece that's about 8 to 9" roundish....on live rock. It has grown in all the nooks all ND crannies of the rock.

It has over 60/80 - ish eyes in bright turquoise orange, I would love to frag this puppy out.

Being a sps...it has all ND fleshy mushy outer edge all did firm mid to center.

Any help would be appreciated.

I would assume bandsaw... but I don't have experience with fragging this.

Definetly with a Frag Saw.

Miami Hurricane is a Chalice so it is LPS not SPS.

I would get an Inland Frag Saw.

It is the best thing that I ever bought.

Not in the budget for saw.....any other way?

I actually use a cheap tile saw to frag stuff. With a coupon it was like $50.

7 in. Portable Wet Cut Tile Saw

You could try and dremel it apart.

Cheapest way a flat head screw driver and a hammer chisel away lol it wont be clean cut but it will work

Ok, so I borrowed a saw..but what is best way to cut. I'm assuming that some eyes will be lost. So cutting in squares is the better way?

Any one with cutting these have some advice I could use?

Someone tell this man how to frag this thing before he kills it. I would assume you would need to start cutting from the underneath to minimize heat and tearing of the coral. I have never done it though.
