Coral Fragging & Propagation Techniques

Hello all,

I havnt had corals in over 10 years. Now that Im back into it I searched and searched dozens of posts over endless nights to find tips and tricks for fragging corals.

I was hoping that everyone would share the tips and tricks for different coral so then when the next person who comes along new to the hobby can find it in one thread.


Here goes...

The first the I do when fragging is determine what it is and how I am going to anchor it.

I would like to hear from others how they do it...

Softies, I thread a needle with fishing line and pass it thru the bottom and tie around rock. I sometimes use gel superglue to glue it to shell. I have tried the toothpick rubber band but for some reason they crack up, dry and snap and my corals fall to their death.

curious to hear other techniques...

 

I just cut up a ig frogspawn last night and I used a dremmel to cut off the heads and I used rubble rock that looks like fiji branches to attach the heads to. And glue together. I know its not really propogation, more like trimming a tree. What type of dremmel wheel do people use (for who use a dremmel)? It was my first attempt at doing anything and it went good.

 

That sounds really cool...do you have any pics?
