It all counts as frags as far as I'm concerned, but not frags that I would be willing to buy...
Somewhere along the way (probably shortly after upgrading to the 210g tank) we had some conversations about what our best survival rates seemed to be. If I glue a 5 polyp zoa frag down in a 210g tank, it can get knocked down and swept away so easily that I never see it again. So I just don't bother with those anymore.
I try to only buy frags that are healed, healthy, showing new growth, and are closer to colony / mini-colony size. Those I seem to be able to keep alive more often than not. (Sure they are more expensive, so I just buy them less often.) For zoas I'm generally looking for 20+ polyps. For LPS I'd prefer something in the near golf ball size range. I am still pretty new to buying SPS, but have had best results with something around 2".
