fragging my zoa?

[saltwater4life]

Alright i heard that they can shoot toxic into your face while fragging them so i was wondering what makes them spit and will they spit if i cut the rock under them. Another question i got is once i frag it will it be safe to put back into my tank or will it keep spitting?

Thanks again guys!

never saw one spit...but if you smash 'em they might pop a juicy stuff.
I squished some with my bare hands and my fingers were numb.
Luckily i didn't have cuts.
Wear gloves...they look like cute little flowers but they can be deadly

yea i know I've heard many stories of dogs and other pets dying from be around them
And yes I've got gloves and goggles i don't wanna take any chances with this toxic... anyways i think it will be worth it. i'll be trading the zoa frag for a some mushrooms, Pulsing Xenia and maybe a frogspawn plus i'll be giving him some cash for his other frags

Hey i did it and so far nothing dead (that's a good sign) *twirlysmi
Here is a picture of the frag it's about 1.5" tall

well it looks like a good job but if you have a macro lens or just if you can adjust the focus we could get a better view

I dont know how i've been playing around with it

 

[TRe]

so how did it go??

 

[Xeruf]

so i guess frag doesent mean to kill it. what do you mean just to mount it to a rock and place it?

The Frag is doing well i believe here are a few new heads

a frag is when you cut a smaller piece of the coral and then you can glue it to something and then it'll grow there just Google fragging corals that's how i got a lot of my info
