Propagating Mushroom Corals

[monarch09]

I have some frilly mushroom corals that seem to be doing very well. I'm new to the hobby and need suggestions on propagating them.

Thankyou. After posting my thread i found several. Im new enough to the hobby, I guess im a little afraid to tackle propagation. But would like to see my mushrooms in more places in my aquarium.
On question, when propagating, do you remove the mushroom from the aguarium to glue or mesh, then put it back, or do you do all under water.

Take the rock it's on out or if it is not attached just take it out. Cut down through the center with a brand new single edge razor blade. Try to center the cut on the "mouth" and then repeat. Cut twice having 4 pieces. If the mushroom is not attched to a rock it more likely will have sand on the bottom. Dab dry with a paper towel and use super glue gel to attch it to something. Cover with a damp paper towel (tank water) until glue is cured 1-2 minutes and then replace in the tank. Wearing rubber gloves is advised to.
