sambo123 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I did this on some RPE's and Sunflower palys two weeks ago, finally I have a new bud for every polyp. It definately works great. Im getting some PPE in a week, not sure if Ill have the guts to do it though. lol Link to comment
ENraged Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Once the 2 new growth sites are juvies i am cutting them in to 2 seprate frags on that rock. the way the second sprawl growth is forming i can V out some flesh easy. Link to comment
MarvinsReef Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 you guys have any before and after shots.. maybe a couple of weeks progression shots? Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Here is an update pic of my PPE's new bud. 3/11 3/27 4/12 And here is a pic of a frag next to the PPEs, splitting rather than budding. I wish I could get my PPEs to split. Link to comment
MNGold15 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Here are a few blurry pics of my ppes. I think I am going to cut one of the membranes between the polyps like everyone else is doing. Link to comment
basser1 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Hey SeeDemTails, the bud on the second pic looks like mine I recently got from a bud on this website! Link to comment
MarvinsReef Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 awesome progression pics guys... here's some of mine that will go under the blade sometime tonight or tomorrow.. back up frags.. one is the sparkled PPE's and the other is the solid purple PPE's.. both will be fragged into single polyps as long as the cut is clean enough to do.. Solid Purple PPE back up frag Sparkled PPE back up frag and this shot is one of the Sparkled PPE's that I fragged about 3-4 weeks ago.. I'm seeing 2 new babies forming... Link to comment
sandlot13 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 man i love this thread.... except it makes me extremely jealous everytime I look at it Link to comment
tperkins Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 man i love this thread.... except it makes me extremely jealous everytime I look at it Not to try to hijack this thread and I am not affiliated with these guys at all but I saw on reefenvy.com that they have what looks like an 8 polyp frag of PPE for 300.00 that would be 37.5 per polyp. with people still getting 50 per polyp in some cases that seems like a good deal.

revhtree Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 OK UPDATE! Sorry pics are bad but you'll have to trust me. You can see the bulging of the skin of the polyp. On the double circled polyp it is very hard to see, but there are two distinct areas where a polyp's are fixing to pop! Now the armeggedons. I already had about two baby polyps, but I have have one extra since the cut and the polyps are no reconnected. Link to comment
MarvinsReef Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 here's my experiment... before and after fragging of two varieties of PPE... variety 1 variety 2 and here they are after surgery.. (variety 1 -- left; variety 2 -- right) most are going out next week but I'm left with (2) single polyps of both variety that I will do further experimentation on.. I manage to cut an adult polyp in half so I'll be monitoring if it's going to make it or not.. I hope it does.. Link to comment
mvite Posted April 23, 2007 Author Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hey gang-- I have been lax with my pic postings. Mostly because there hadn't been too much to report since the fraggin. HOWEVA!!!! Upon close inspection last night--they are all fully healed and have covered over their attachment points. There are a few new heads. I started with 5 polyps and there are probably 8 now in the past few weeks. There is also some serious new buddin goin on. I will get some pics up---maybe tonight---and then I am gonna cut em again. There's no doubt they are stimulated by the cuts. I had also fragged some RPE and they have budded like crazy as well. Stay tuned!!! Link to comment
mvite Posted April 25, 2007 Author Share Posted April 25, 2007 Well I didn't get no pics yet--but---I was in the basement getting ready to start packing for travel---and there were the PPE and there was this clean ol' razor blade looking at me. Next thing I knew, I had sliced every single polyp I have PPE and RPE alike! I will be back on Friday---but I am sure that will be too soon. I'm telling you---this time I wasn't as GENTLE as I was in the first post. I sliced and sliced---wherever there looked to be a slight bit of membrane--I scored it with the blade. Sometimes I didn't get right down to the rock, for fear of separating a polyp from the piece, but I still sliced them up good!!! Link to comment
MarvinsReef Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 LoLz.. you're a slice machine... looking forward on the results.. Link to comment
SeeDemTails Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Mine are stuck on the new bud they made, no other new growth yet! I am about to start slicing! Link to comment
mvite Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 Not bad. The top pic is all three frag groups. I don't know the dates for tracking growth--but it hasn't been too long. Link to comment
ENraged Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Look at all those Nubs!! My damn skirts are browning out stupid pc's cant wait to move them in to the MH tank.. Link to comment
willyboy Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 HOLY MOLY! That is some serious budding. Link to comment
ezcompany Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 can u guys tell me the actual slicing process? do you just downright cut it in half or what? Link to comment
Matty1124 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 holy crap... and here i have been letting mine grow like snails.... now where did i put my razor... Link to comment
ENraged Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 can u guys tell me the actual slicing process? do you just downright cut it in half or what? The connective tissue between established polyps is being sliced and in some cases V grooved so the coral going in to survival mode and starts pushing out buds. Something like that. Link to comment
