Can i frag this?

[bigmoe21]

Hello,
This leather has grown alot, in a short time..was wondering if i can frag it off. A LFS owner told me to cut a piece off from anywhere and zip tie it to something and then it would attach itself..is this right?
thank youhttp://i217.photobucket.com/albums/cc47/bigmoe21/DSC02792.jpg

yup to frag it cut a piece off put a toothpick thru it and rubberband it to the rock from the toothpick or else the rubber band or ziptie will cut thru it

Yes, you can cut a piece off the leather and use a zip tie, bridal veil, rubber band, fishing line, or something similar to 'tie' it to a rock. It will take time to attach and may work itself loose, so keep an eye on the frag. HTH.

thanks. how long does it take?

[bigmoe21]

thanks

I use an exacto for fragging!

be ready to frag often; You have two of them and they grow quickly. I just traded mine in for a fish because it was way to big for my BC29. If it touches another coral it will irritate it and can foul the tank.

[bigmoe21]

cool..how long does it take for the frag to stick?

[erikharrison]

usually a couple of days, sometimes less, sometimes more. Depends on how irritated the coral is. Are you running carbon?

[bigmoe21]

yes, the hang ons have carbon

[bigmoe21]

how big of a piece do i cut? and from where?

[erikharrison]

You could get one of those disposable little plastic tubs and cut some vent holes in it and use it, with the lid of course, to keep them in a confined area so frags don't take off and hide on you.

[bigmoe21]

ok but do i cut from the top or the stalk? and what kind of size of piece?
thanks

Cut a triangled wedge, act as if you were cutting a pizza. From the disc/head of the leather
