Pike614,
We apologize, however, we only recommend propagating a coral after it is fully acclimated and adjusted to the aquarium and it’s new environment. This adjustment period would be outside of our normal guarantee, as this may at times exceed 30 days. Perhaps a reef society or a local pet store would trade or buy frags.
Polyps live as colonies and are typically joined together by a common fleshy base. These can be easily propagated providing the water quality is in excellent condition, and the specimen being propagated must be healthy and show no signs of illness or stress.
