would it be possible to frag any of the following corals.....
plate coral
open brain
green clove polyps
bubble coral
green hairy mushroom
ricordea mushroom
hammer coral
frogspawn
I'll think of more later. I know some of these might be impossible, but maybe someone out there has done it or heard about it. If you have fragged anything, please tell me about it.

Well don't take my advice yet. But for the mushrooms I think you just like pull one off, and rubberband it to a small piece of rock and then it grows more mushrooms. And for the encrusting polyps you just cut of some of it and rubberband it to a rock

For the shrooms you can do it a couple of ways. You can cut the head in half or quarters, and put them in a small tupperware filled with rubble. The tupperware should be placed in low flow and light, and have holes cut in the sides so water can flow through. you can also just let the pieces of shrooms attach themselves where ever they want to attach. Another way to frag shrooms is to cut them at the stalk, and move them to the deisred location and rubberband them so they dont float off.
Green Clove polyps are EASY to frag. I have some growing and multiplying rapidly. Mine usually grow multiple stocks fromt he same base or mat. I just cut around the base, and place new pieces where I want them to be....usually in the sandbed in low to medium flow. you can also superglue these to small rubble if need be. Just make sure that you dont cut the stalk on the cloves.
