can i frag this? im an official fragaholic

ok i have a red monti that i love and just got some cyanoacrylic glue. so i really want to frag this sucker!! heres a pic for size reference. it has grown about .5 cm in the last few weeks. looks brown in the pic but its really a maroon color under a bluer light and lava orange under a whiter light.

 

You can, but I would let it grow a bit more. Get some gloves

 

I agree, IMO, it's still a little small, but you can frag it still if you want to. I have found that the smaller the coral, the more likely the frag or mother colony will have issues.

 

errrg. fine ill let it grow. and i have gloves, just didnt think to put them on lol

 

i think it's big enough, what do you need gloves for?

i could understand with zoas... but monti's? maybe something i don't know about.

frag away... just break off a piece, and ur G2G, monti's are hardy.

 

its not good to touch corals with bare hands. may hurt them.

 

id frag it as long as you have good water and light should be good water quality is key imp
