OH I must say this fragging video was brought to you by the contributions of many members of SWF.com who pitched in and bought me this camera because my old camera was garbage, but I was using it anyways, on those videos you could barely tell what I was doing. Now with my new camera you can actually see whats happening
thanks again guys and gals.

Seriously, thanks for taking the time, AGAIN to show us how to do things right.
Of course the right music is important to the health of frags. they HATE country music. causes stress and death in almost all corals.
on a more serious note, your welcome.
I love doing this stuff, I love helping out and I LOVE FRAGGING!
once I get my reefshop going in another year or two I am planning on giving classes on how to propagate so people can get hands on expirience if they arent sure they want to try it solo.

I'll attend the class but you have to open a shop in TEXAS, I think I could find you an employee, HINT HINT

totally depends on the coral. xenia, zoanthids and most LPS can tolerate about 20minutes without unduly stressing the coral. some gorgonians mere seconds is enough to kill. one trick to extend working time is to wet a piece of paper towel with tank water and drape it over the coral to keep it moist. most gorgonians are best fragged underwater like a sponge.

how exactly do you frag a gorgonian though, i just bought one and the first day it was in my tank the majority of the flesh melted off of it. There are only a few tiny pieces of branch left with living flesh on it, and i was wondering if i should frag them off or if it is too late entirely for the coral.
please help!
