How do you frag a frogspawn?

[fishfreak1242]

About 3 or 4 months ago I bought 2 heads of frogspawn from a friend and it seems that one of the heads has extended out to the side and the mouth has slit into 2, but there is still one foot. I really have never fragged a frogspawn, so I have no idea what to do. Will it separate naturally or do I have to cut it up or something?

Did you check the stickied thread atop this forum?

As the coral grows the heads will split and this will keep happening as long as it is healthy. Fragging a coral is when you cut a peice of the coral off in your case cutting a head off would be fragging it.

Not the "head"....the branch..

The guy may start hacking stuff up.

Euphyllias are the easiest to frag since you just have to break off branches. It's when you get into incisions in soft tissue and the skeleton under it (like with some other LPS) you need to know what you're doing.

I always just snap off a branch at the base. Just make sure the soft coral heads have receded back so you won't damage them. Also, wear thick gloves before you snap off a frag, the first time I did it I sliced open my hand. Very easy to do!

break it like a wishbone. use this for a precise cut. try not to damage any flesh part.

Ok I think I get it now. All you have to do is just break the rock were the 2 separate branches are.
