Sps fragging question

[Mattyice008]

I have a tricolor acropora, ora birdsnest the pink/green I think its called like ponape. And last a hydnophora.

My question is what's the best way to frag them?

 

[RalphsReef]

I frag my SPS with bone cutters. Works great.

Try to move something in the tank. I inevitably always frag something by just sticking my hand in the tank. :)

bone cutters and glueing the long for maximum surface ight coverage.

 

[Mattyice008]

Ok so its basically like a tree..trim a long branch with something like bone cutters and glue it to a frag

Bingo!

If u get really into fragging get a band saw it makes fragging super easy.

 

[Mattyice008]

I only do the easy stuff like zoas/palys

You've got some crazy sticks if you need a bandsaw to cut them! :bounce:

It helps with chalices and some of my award sps like staghorn that gets thick or $500 eflo that doesn't frag easy.

I'm a little bit about over kill

I agree with mounting them on there side after fragging.they look better when grown out to

Hahaha, very true. Bone cutters work great.

Are you able to remove the colony out of the water? This is usually the best way, so you can hit it from many angles. If not, then just good bone cutter. Hold the colony, or portion of it, with one hand, and cut with the other. then use super glue GEL, let it set then dip in and out of tank water slowly.
good luck!

needle nose pliers have worked for me. I had to break off a piece of my green slimer because it randomly decided to go necrotic. everything else is still fine though but the break was clean

punch it - if you make more frags then planned dont worry you wont regret it - the base will sprout more and every frag will grow its own colony :) $$
