I have a pinkish frogspawn that had 8-10 heads, with the one lowest head that got shaded over whenever the top ones expanded. I decided to "frag" this guy so that he could get his share of light, and maybe in time, grow into a decent specimen.
Here's what I used: one of those crab crackers. I don't know the technical name for this utensil, but its what you use to split crab claws to get to the meat. This was a bad idea. The branch with this lonely head vertically splintered into four pieces, so now I have four little slivers of one E. divisa head. Each new "quarter head" still has a good amount of "meat" on it, and as I look at the tank, these new frags' polyps are expanding!
So far all looks good. I guess I should have used something like a hacksaw to make the cuts. I really need to get Calfo's coral propagation book.
I guess this was just a story that I felt like telling. Hmm.
