sephroth_r1 Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 accidently posted in the advanced forum. i want to frag off some of my smaller zoo's from different colonys. my question is as follows. some of the peices o got are already on a litteral chip of LR, but i only want to take maybe 1 or 2 polyps tops from it. so, do i cut the polyps at the base withan exacto k-nife? or is there another way to get them un-attached. thanks guys. seph Link to comment
mahi mahi boy Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I peeled, pulled and cut mine apart. Not so much w/ cutting though. Here is a zoa frag vid. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=100787 Link to comment
sephroth_r1 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 yea, the video shows him doing it by having rock on it. im asking, how do i remove one polyp from the fringe of a colonly, can i glue the polyp directly to a new rock? Link to comment
MGXsport Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Yeah you can try pulling it off or cutting around a single polyp and then gluing it to the new location. Link to comment
sephroth_r1 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 well, i just did the deed. they are closed right now, but that is only to be expected. other than that, i put them in my 8gallon under the more intense lighting to help them heal. man... i need a prop tank. Link to comment
reefone Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 after u frag them u should put them in low light for the rest of the day so they can heal and not be to stressed.after i frag i only run actinics or no lights for the rest of the day.my.02 Link to comment
sephroth_r1 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 thanks man! the lights are going off in about 5 anyway, i just wanted them to have a little something to eat. thanks for everyones advice, ill let you know how they end up! and hopefully pics. Link to comment
sephroth_r1 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 well, they are all open so far, except for the one i cut. which looks like it is close to opening. which i hope will soon. so far my first time fragging has me at a 50% succsess rate. (which i hope will go soon to 100%, lol) Link to comment
sephroth_r1 Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Well, from yesterday, ive had 100% sucsess!!! (spelling, BUY ME A DICTIONARY!!!) i just fragged another two. one is a white paladin, the other, a mutant green zoo. These ones slimed alot, and i mean, alot!!! but they are cut and glued on. i didnt witness any melting either, so... root for me fellas!! Link to comment

sephroth_r1 Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Thats pretty sweet! im gonna have to look those up in detail! well, both of the polyps i glued are doing well, the white paladin is opened compleatly, and the kyptonite is somewhat open, but small, so it wont open all the way yet!! 100% still.
