Best fragging techniques??

[uriah]

Just wanted to get a concensus on everyones techniques for fragging. My problem is fragging soft coral that has embedded into the liverock. SPS frags are pretty straightforward, but what is the best technique for fragging softies, mushrooms, ect.? I dont want to hurt the coral; but even if i can get a razor underneath the base, I am stuck gluing the coral directly (burning, slow growth, ect.)

Hammer didnt work last time I tried... Smashed the corals:cry_smile: J/k, but seriously, I need some advice. I will check out the U-Tube video and go from there. Still open to suggestions.

Do a google search for reefflix.com go to that website and search in there type in the search box fragging. there will be a bunch of results for fragging corals. softies etc. i cut mine off the rock when i did my xenia and worked great even cut a mushroom off as well as in the video also worked well.

yup watch the reefflix vids...ballard told me about em....they're pretty much straight forward..

For softies, just cut the coral of with a razor. Typically at the stalk. If you have a small frag tank, through some crushed coral on the bottom and let the coral attach to the crushed material. Then you have easy glueing to whatever you want. A small scale version of this is to put some crushed coral in a small dish or container. Put corals in, and cover with bridal vail. This is an option of you don't have a frag tank.

Thanks guys, the video references helped alot. Crushed coral and bridal vail seems like an easy route. There is alot of good videos that I am still looking through.
