This thread has me wanting to add a choice shroom or two near my rics as one of the last few frags I will add...speaking of, does anyone know if this will work with rics? Kinda same thing, my favorite one is the one I have had the longest and the only one to not start to split, bit its positioned rather oddly where I could cut off part of the foot.

It's a yuma I believe
cant see where I cut it at the moment. When my lights came on tonight it was closed up so I took the opportunity to cut it while I had it. The red shroom however looks like the foot separated a little after I cut it and is a little more separated than the ric.

Definitely a yuma.
My Ric floridas are really wedged into the rocks, so I never really see their feet. I think Rics in general like to wedge their foot into something deep.

I just fragged my rics for the first time a couple of days ago. The only method I heard of to frag them was slicing them right off the rock and mounting what you removed and then what is left behind will be another mushroom OR taking that mushroom you just removed and cut it through the mouth into a max of 4 pieces and mount those OR leave the mushroom on the rock and cut between two mouths or through its only mouth. I did the latter and they look like they are doing very well so far.

ok so it's been 4 days since i cut the yuma and shroom. here's some updated pics, sorry for quality my camera blows.
especially sorry on this one, had to get the pic during lights out, the only time i can see the foot and using a flash light.

I had the same thing happen with one of the mushrooms I cut recently, then when I cut it again I made sure to saw through quite a few times so it was more separated, now it seems like its finally split. The other one came out great though, healed up nicely!

Just a vertical cut on part of the foot, cutting the top off would've meant way too much work with getting it to reattach, and I just don't have the spare tank real estate for that
