My equipment,besides dremel

Its a FL Keys Watermelon(4eyes),it more purple/pink in person

Here it is after fragged

The frag(1 eye)

The mother and frag,in chalcie rehab(partially shaded area of my tank)

Tell me if it looks like I did anything wrong or any advice you have on fragging chalices

I ended up putting it on a small frag plug because i figured the disk was to big for just 1 eye

Kraylen,

I actually watched all of your fragging videos! They are great! I dint know you could frag plate corals and scolys....i was going to use the razr blade method but it was literally 3mm thick, the chalice is just the chalice and 1 pebble of rock it is all attached to, and i didnt want it to shatter or smtn...my luck...

Bay Reefer,
I didnt think of that, but after the frag gets acclimated and heals over ill cut the bottom off

No shattering at all... you are not striking the chalice with the razor blade, you are simply using a small shock of force to push the blade though ;) Cleaner than a band saw :p
