Hey guys. I've been reading up on how to frag bubble corals. I have a huge one that is growing too long and curling around the bottom of the rock that I'd like to attempt fragging. If you've ever done this before, I'd love to hear some input.
I hear conflicting information on the safeness of trying this. Some say one wrong move could kill your whole colony, others say that it bogus. My plan was to try the method of attaching a thick rubberband over the area I'd like frag, wait a few days until the flesh below dies, then chisel away the area where I want to frag. But fact is that they tissue goes all the way down into the skeleton, so it's more tricky than simply chiseling the area away.
Anyways, here are some pictures to show you what I want to do. What do you guys think?
