zoos dont frag very well, but they spread on their own. break off a littale piece of the rock and superglue it to where you want. some are also highly toxic. with mushrooms, just cut it at the stem with a razor. one will grow back in its place too.

If you are here typing, I think you are fine. The zoos that are poisonous are deadly poisonous and kill you quickly I believe. It's never really a good idea to handle corals without gloves though.

Nice lil tank you got there. If you want more corals, I'd stick to ones that don't grow very quickly.... stuff like favites, organ-pipe, etc.. What kind of lighting do you have? How much flow do you have in the tank (gallons per hour)?

looks like you got some cyano bacteria in there. how old are your bulbs? what are your levels? what is your photoperiode? does a lot of food get by your cleanup crew? is the tank in the sun?
oh, and for the list above, it is my personal opinion that a tank that size is too small for any fish.
