I followed the "shroom" fragging thread and cut my first one several weeks ago. I now have 4 and all doing well, rounded up nice and starting to show signs of enlarging. I will be doing several more soon as they are so EASY to do. Good Luck

I found fragging GSP a lot easier that that entire proceedure.
I just tore off a piece and jammed it in a hole in my rock and about 6 months later it is taking over the entire rock.

6 months? :) I literally HAVE to frag mine every 2 weeks. If I dont.. things get ugly.
You should see the rock I have them on.. I fragged them less than a week ago and almost all of the areas that were cut are completely regrown. Its the fastest growing thing in my tank.

Do you feed the button polyps or the yellow polyps? Both will eat food often. (meaty pieces).

MEaTY pieces?? I did not know that. they may catch what falls, but i usually target feed them with Invertabrate target food....how would i prepare the meaty food...bein the polyps are so small?

Thank you again Speg...i had no idea and never read or heard anything of the sort! one more Q if you don't mind...how often to feed this particular diet?

I feed mine whenever I feed mysis shrimp to my tank. My button polyps and yellow polyps both accept mysis and its easy for them to grab/take in cause of its size. I usually feed mysis about every 3-4 days.
