Zoa Fragging

[DanS180]

Hey guys, so I have a couple colonies of zoas I wanna start fragging. What's the best way to go about it?

Pull out 2 bowls of water. In one you can keep the rocks with zoas on it.

Just cut the polyp off as close to the base as you can and glue it onto a new rock with cyanoacrylate gel superglue.

After it sets for 30 seconds or so put it into the second bowl of water. They should be ready to go in the tank after this. Just be sure to discard the water.

Also, safety glasses are super important when working with zoas.

Use gloves too and a mask if you can. Some of them are worse than others with the toxin.

Most certainly will! Gloves are a must for me

Just curious...what do you cut them with?

A very sharp scalpel works best. But you can use a straight razor blade as well.

Still waiting for a few zoas to open up but I think I did okay would add a picture but my acct is full and can't upload anymore :/

I always find fragging corals to be kind of nerve wracking myself
