Help fragging Acan

[Matthew91]

Hi reefers, I have an Aussie Acan I would like to frag but I really don't know how. It seems sooo delicate to frag it. It has maybe about 35-46 heads. Too much to count. You can see why I would like to frag it. It is 7" across and nice and plump. I plan to sell it to my lfs or anyone in the bay area really. Any help would be most appreciated.

Your best bet is to find someone in your area with a bandsaw and have them help you out, have you posted in your local reef club forums?

I can use my dads tools but Idk if he will let me use for this purpose. What is that? local reef forums?

It seems easy, but keep in mind the huge size difference between that and your colony. With a dremel stay closer to the edge and only frag one small piece at a time and let it heal in between. A wet bandsaw will work much better, especially if it's a thicker colony since dremels cut pretty shallow.

Thanks for the advice. I will have to use my carpenter skills..
