    Does anyone know if you can "frag" sponges in any way? Reason being is that I have a pretty cool blue sponge that is growing on the skeleton of my torch, so I barely ever get to see it. I would like to move it, or at least part of it (if possible), to a more visible area of my reef if it could be done.
    TIA

    Yep use an exacto knife with a new blade.

    (make sure to fully take apart the knife and rinse all pieces in tap water and then dry well before reassembling)

    Cool stuff! What about securing them? Glue, rubber band, net, etc?
