    just snip the branches at an angle dont cut the main branches i attach them to a small rock with 2 rubber bands they will attach in a couple of weeks put the frags in a low flow area untill they attach to the rocks and thats it.

    Ok I've got my first frag. I removed the coral to a small container. Down the cut, then removed main coral back to tank. I went the toothpick route. I cut a piece about 2", put the rubberbands on each side of the rock. Stuck the toothpick through the bottom section of frag and slid the toothpick between the rubberbands. I will let the frag attach to the rock for 2-3 weeks what ever it takes then remove the toothpick. Hopefully I'll get a great frag. Here's arealy fuzzy pic of it.

    Is there any pieces that you do not have a home for. i would pay for the over night shipping if you wouldnt mind sparing a small frag. if not that is ok too just want to make sure that it stays admired. if your interested send me a reply at Jason@jhicks.net i would love to hear from you.

    Thanks Jason
