My toadstool is having problem standing upright so I figured I might try to frag him. Do I just cut the stalk say half way up and then attach it to another rock? From what I gather the bottom half should then grow into anther toadstool?

Atari said:If you cut about an inch deep all the way around the cap you can make a bunch of frags out of that. Say about 2"x1" pieces attached to a disc made from reef putty or something.

I probably didn't explain it very well. Think of it like a pizza and you're cutting the crust offjamal-188 said:Atari said:There's a great book on coral propagation by Anthony Calfo.
I actually have it but haven't had much time to read lately. So when I cut around this guy do I try to slice as far down the stalk as possible so I have like 4-5 mini toadstools? If i understand you correctly there will be a 2x1" top and then a thin piece of stalk on each frag?
I have some of that putty left from my last project!
