corals starting to touch... Compatability ??

[joncat24]

I am right down the road if you need a new home for it. I provide free housing for lost or misplaced corals......LOL

 

[joncat24]

I would say I would buy it, but right now I can't afford it.

 

[who dey]

pics a little deceiving but tentacles are fully extended on top of the frogspawn. I would think if there was a prob the toad would retract??

leathers are pretty much all the same. the frogspawn is way different than them. If you get it to close up and load a pic of the skeleton I can show you where to break it. and explainhow to do it.

 

[saltn00b]

looks like its fraggin' time.
... for both of em!
trade with people and get some nice variety in there - JMO

 

[who dey]

well this is the best pic i can get right now. Where should i snap em

 

[reefkprz]

I was going to use paint to draw in lines but the skeleton doesnt show well enough. so... pick a branch that has more than 2 inches of bare skeleton below the head. hold it by the branch and the main colony trying not to grip the tissue at all because this can bruise it and cause reccesion. then snap it off as Far from the head as possible, the flesh extends down inside the skeleton about an inch or more, so you want to nmake the break as far as possible from the head to prevent damaging the tissue inside the skeleton. I would make the break as clost to a branching intersection as possible (its usually the easiest place to snap it any how. if you have a fine toothed band saw or a dremel or tile saw you can use that to cut the skeleton usually works best. Do not use pliers or snips as it tends to crush the skeleton potentially damaging the tissue inside. some people reccomend snips for this I dont. sawing or snapping has yeilded the best results for me.

well i did it (hopefully) I broke 3 stalks as far away from the heads as possible and placed them in a few different places in the tank. They look ok already beginning to extend. Thanks for your help

 

[reefkprz]

your welcome, it be easy to tell if you broke them too close to the head you would have seen soft tissue at the break. If they are extending alreay its a good sign.

I'm glad I could help. I've been trying to show people how easy fragging can be. can you post some pictures? I would like to possibly add them to my fraggin thread if its ok with you.
