Identification: Button Polyp, Sea Mat or something else?

If you're thinking propagating them to sell to a LFS... not sure it'd be worth your time. Those types of polyps seem to be a dime a dozen around my parts. I think they can get them pretty cheap from wholesalers.

But to answer your question, you can frag them like any other zoanthid/palythoa... cut with an exacto and glue onto another rock with superglue. Be sure to wear rubber gloves and shield your eyes/face when cutting any zoanthids/palythoas. Their mucous contains a fairly potent neurotoxin which can mess you up... to say the least. Google "palytoxin" before fragging.

pretty easy, you can use some loose rubble and they will grow on them eventually or you can cut them off your rock and place then in some loose rubble they will attach and then you have a bunch of little frags.. or if you have alot and a rock you dont mind chipping at, you can just break off a piece of rock with them on it(if you have the tools to do so) I just use a sharp knife and basically pry them off my my rock and place them in my bed(I have a part of my tank that is just crushed coral so they will stick to the pieces fairly quickly then just super glue them to where I want them to go, google button polyp propogation
