Alright so there's this chunk that got pushed off the rock and turned like a light purple, shrivled, wilted, and looked almost dead.

I took it and shoved it into the sand at the bottom and it's light pink (it's original color) and standing up again. Never in my life have I fragged any coral mainly 'cause I've only had my tank up for 30 weeks and just recently started getting coral. :applause: It's the beeeeeeeeest.

So any who, I'm guessing they get shoved off because of the other pieces of the FLC is growing and need more space to get light?? What if I want to frag a piece of it? Is it as easy as those videos I've seen of them fragging regular Leather Coral in which they just slice off a chunk and rubber band it to rubble?? :confused:

Yup that easy! If you have trouble with the rubber band cutting into the frag, use a smaller piece of rubble and "sandwich" the frag in between them.

Dang that's awesome! lol I don't plan on cutting it just yet unless someone asks me for a piece of it 'cause it's growing pretty fast and big. I love it. :)

Thanks guys for confirming! :)
