    Personally, I say frag it. But only if it's too big for your liking. Then you can sell the frags back to a LFS and get credit. That's what I'm doing with my purple xenia. At least it's paying for my fish food every month.

    If you're going the coral route (seems that you are) I would add a lot more rock.

    Personally I like 2lbs per gallon but anything over 1lb per gallon should be fine.


    I wouldn't frag those... they don't look too big in the tank to me...


    Lots of folks recommend selling frags to LFS as if it's a given... I'm sure lots of folks can do this but I have yet to find an LFS willing to buy or trade frags in my area... not an option for me. So check around first, don't assume that's an option for you before you start fragging and taking them around to LFS.
