What do you mean by "shedding?" If you mean that it's producing lots of slime - Colts do that. And what's limp - the original colony or the frag. Don't forget, you just sliced the coral and it's not feeling very happy. So just let it be in the tank. Getting the new frag to attach might be tricky; I never managed to do it successfully.

I punch a small hole through the side of the "stalk" and thread it like a needle. Then just tie it to whatever you want it to stick to.

just found out that the small colt isn't a colt its kenya tree .. and the large colt is really a colt. so how can i help the kenya tree.. should i feed it with marine show with a sryinge. or what?
