Hey all,
Can someone tell me how to frag a coral? I have a frogspawn covered rock and would like to frag it but don't know how to go about seperating.
Thanks!

I use a dremmel tool with a cut off wheel. Just the cheap ones the come with the tool when purchase.
When you pull it out of the water make sure it is deflated or it will tear. Then just starting cutting about 2 inches below the head and you will be good to go.

if you don't have a dremel you can always just snap branches off... but you do get a cleaner cut with the dremel.

I have read that sometimes with you snap a branch off you will damage the head. I have no exp at all snapping because that thought has always prevented me from doing so.

I don't snap between the head. I do it right between, where the two branches meet. When I use a dremel I cut in the same place.
