Orange short-tenacle Plate coral

[elkinsda]

Hey All,


I have a question about my orange plate coral?

Can you frag this coral? and if so could i cut it into four pieces like a pie?

Thanks for the help!

i read about it somwhere after doing a google search on heliofungia. They said it was a bad idea.

yes you can. helliofungia are the one's that dont do too well after fragging. most of the long tentacle plates are helliofungia. any other short tentacle plates are fine to frag. the best way to frag it is pie like. as long as the coral has been in your system and healthy for a month or so it should do fine. after fragging make sure it is feed plenty. i would just cut in 2 pieces if this is your first time. a tile saw(the cheapest you can get from home depot(plastic box)) is prefered.
