Mushroom frags....

How do you frag a red mushroom, if at all? Ive had one for over 6 months now, and still hasn't multiplied like they are supposed to.
Is there any way to get them to multiply faster?

some people say to take a cup of saltwater and the shroom and BLEND IT!!!
or you could cut it with a razor and they are likely to grow back.

There's a bunch of ways to frag shrooms =P. They are pretty hardy little buggers. If you want to be safe about it, you could take and cut it's top off; you can cut the top up into 2-4 pieces and net it to a rock to attach and the stump will probably regrow into another one. Otherwise, try putting it closer to a powerhead in stronger flow to agitate it a bit and normally they'll move and leave a trail of little ones behind.
They were one of my first corals and now I have random red shrooms throughout my tank. I really like them =).
Good Luck; just a heads up, they are slippery little buggers!
