Has anyone here farmed corals before?

Ive been looking at <a href="http://www.garf.org" target="_blank">www.garf.org</a> about this subject, and i was wondering if anyone had tried it. It seems relatively feasible. THanks.

I know of a guy in Strongsville, Ohio near Cleveland that does it the Garf way. He sells them on the web. I have been to his house and picked up some frags. His site is <a href="http://www.coraldynamics.com" target="_blank">www.coraldynamics.com</a>

are there any particular easy corals to start out with?

I've made "frags" as they are called now. I suppose this is the short form of the word "fragment". I think soft corals particularly the whitish ones when healthy can be grown this way. Just cut off a piece/appendage and sit it on a rock. Attaching it is the tricky part. I stuck my "frags" within holes of the LR.

Also healthy anthelia, xenia, or star polyps are good specimens.
