I frag some of it. :) I figure its best to go ahead and take pics of it now just incase... ya know? :p I am pretty sure however that i'll do a good job fragging it and it'll live and the frags will live.
Feel free to post pics of YOUR fiji leathers :) I'd love to see them.
Oh also a pic of a few products I enjoy using & suggest to others.

This fiji is huge. I plan on making two small frags tonight. If they do well and thrive then i'll consider fragging it more and then sure :) i'll be happy to trade pieces of it.

K, just fragged it. I took two small half inch to three quarter inch pieces off of the mother colony - placed them on a piece of rubble - netted them making sure that the net doesnt actually hold too tightly onto the frag (cause they expand/grow) - rubberbanded the net - placed them in the frag tank.
A few issues and concerns...
concern #1 I keep the two tanks different temperatures. The frag tank is constantly 78 degrees and the show tank is 82 degrees. I am mildly worried that the temperature change will have some effect on the frags.. I really do doubt such a small change will.. but fiji's are a little more delicate than your average leather.
concern #2 the frag tank lights are 4 65 watts and the show tank is 2 96 watt lights. So there is more wattage in the frag tank but less powerful bulbs. I dont think it'll have much of an effect... but its something to consider :)
I am not worried about the mother colony at all. When it was first being cut it started shrinking up which as we all know is a normal defensive maneuver. Already (20 minutes or so) it has almost fully expanded and 70% of its tentacles are back out again. I have never had a leather do so well so fast after being cut.
Here is the pic of the frags (cant really see them), they are the ones under the net of course :)
Also a pic of the mother colony about 5 - 8 minutes after being cut. Look how good it already looks.

I have tried 2 times to get a yellow fiji and both times it died a couple of days after shipping. Your looks awesome. Keep it up.

I have a yellow fiji, it is my favorite in the tank....it was about the size of my palm when I purchased it and now it spreads about 7 inches at minimum across....it is a fantastic addition to the tank....
