BlondeNaso1 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 I know a good book. If you read the part about propogating coral in Julian Sprung's "The Reef Aquarium" it desribes it in detail. Basically cut off a peice at the base with VERY sharp scissors then attach it using nylon line or coral glue to a small rock. Shortly it will heal and become attached. HTH good luck Link to comment
NanoReefer53 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 just cut off a piece. find a small pore or hole in a rock, fill it in with super glue or expoxy and shove the stick it. Soon it will encrust over it and grow. Link to comment
Jefe12234 Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 http://www.reefcentral.com/library/coral_p...org/Default.htm http://www.reefrancher.com/propagation/gorgonian/ The one thing you want to do differently with gorgs is to make sure that you strip away the outer flesh at the base of the frag. That way the inner skeleton is being glued, not the outer tissue (which will rot away if glued). -Chris Link to comment
