i have read lots of different threads and do have an interest in buying some corals adventally. i have read allot about frags and fragging corals. what are you guys talking about i am so lost i have never heard of fragging till i hit this site

Fragging is how you take one piece of coral and get 2
All you do is cut a small piece off your coral and then attach it to a piece of rock rubble and then it will start to get larger and grow another coral.
Thats just simply put
There is certain ways to cut corals but good enough for you to get the idea

melissa, I believe you have two very easy corals to frag. For the xenia, take it out of the tank if possible. Then submerge it in a 5 gallon bucket filled with water from your display. Then simply take a razor blade and cleanly slice off a branch, arm, etc. But don't hack the main stalk. Then put the "frag's" bottom into the sandbed for a couple of days to heal. Then place on rock and wa-la.
For the kenya tree, do the same thing.
