Nanobuds Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 thats what i thought... but dremels can get pretty hot and i dont want to burn the coral... Link to comment
organism Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Dremel or bandsaw would do fine, just make sure that they're well fed and healthy before you go fragging them. If you frag an unhealthy colony chances are that they'll never be able to heal correctly. Link to comment

Dizzle21 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 i fragged a couple little pieces off mine.i used a dremel and the pieces looked pretty bad after. i thot they wouldnt live. but now all of them have healed and look just as healthy as the mother colony. + to dremel. Link to comment
LivingStrong08 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Can you post pics after you frag? I just got a colony, of 15+ heads, and my buddy wants a few for his tank. He is on a really tight budget, so I decided to buy the colony for $60. (is that a good price) But he has a small tank, 14 gallon. The colony is to big for him, so I will put in my 67 gallon. Would love to see pics of what they look like when they are fragged off.. Link to comment
Samurhai Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 if you use a dremel it goes through pretty fast so you dont have to worry about the heat too much. i frag toadstools all the time Link to comment
