sarco fragging

[jay s]

I have a GIANT sarcophyton leather in my 90gal reef which I would like to frag and sell if possible . I have watched youtube videos on fragging these. Mine is probably 11 inches tall with a trunk diameter of 6 inches. some of the videos use iodine or coralRX or Revive dips after the cuttings. Good idea or not? Do I really need to take my giant out of the tank to cut off 1-2 pieces?

Although I have never fragged a leather I would advise taking it out before cutting. The coral will secrete toxins when stressed by cutting. An iodine dip is critical if you want to prevent post cut infections imo.
