    I have a chance to buy a duncan----But my lfs is going to frag the piece first. My question is-- is it safe to bring it home right after it has been fragged, or should it stay at the store for a while. If so how long. It's soooo pretty and I really want it--but I don't to bring home something that will die right away. Any help you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks Jean

    as long as your system is capable of handling the coral there shouldnt be a problem, no need for it to stay at the lfs.

    I would wait a couple days if you can. You never know how responsible your LFS is with fragging, and if they do it irresponsibly, they frag might not make it.

    My store wants $22 a head--this seems reasonable.
