Did you walk in and ask them to frag a piece of something and pay for it? Or was it more of a hey bud I think this would look good in your tank, here is a little frag because you are a good customer? And was the frag from a display tank or for-sale tank, as that makes a huge difference. I've not seen shops in Austin readily frag their stock for customers not wanting to buy an entire piece. I've heard of a few times when a coral may have been over $200 and the shop cutting off a few mouths to help lower the over all price but that was only once or twice. See in SA a few shops fragged their stock willingly and whenever.
