    Man im excited!! Fragged my gorgonia on Sunday just to see if i could. Took a small piece of rubble and drilled a small hole into it, filled the hole with supper glue gel and put it to the side. Cut a small branch from the Frilly and stipped the cut end with my fingernail (thought i had stripped away to much) anyway i set it in the superglue and there was at least 1/4 inch of exposed Frilly even after setting it in the rock. Last night got home late so i used the trusty flashlight and man what a surprise to see nooooo exposed Frilly at the base... very very cool. Wish i had a picture to show maybe my 18 year old can help with that...lol

    Thanks guys! Felt like a little kid. Hey jdameli1 i live off of sunrise blvd. I plan on fragging the rest of the Gorgonia either today or tomorrow. Depending on how they go i'm willing to give you a heads up so we can meet up and i'll give you one, wish i could keep them but since i only have a 14 gal nano i need to frag and give away or swap for something that grows slooowwww...haha

    Well i now have a miniature gorgonia forest in my tank. The first frag i did two sundays ago is doing great, yesterday the polyps were really extended. Im hopping the rest of it does as well as the first frag. Pictures of the first frag tonight...hopefully!!!

    Hey jadameli1 dont worry about fragging anything in exchange.
