Question about the swap

[650-IS350]

My first time going since reefkeeping for 11 years or so...

Planning on brining these for the swap..

What size is good to bring to the swap for monti caps?
How many zoo polyps to equal a decent frag?
How long a piece for a frag of the digitatas?

Thank Appreciate it...

That is a nice pink zoa man.. .. Most of my zoa frag has around 10 polyps. I have couple that are 4-5 polyps and they are pretty darn small .. Try to shot for 5 polyps that would be much better IMO.

Thats dooable with the pinkies and orange skirts... will try with the PE's.

I have a nice rock of zoas with pink centers but no real color in the skirts, so they are not anything wonderful. But not ugly either. I went to pop off what I thought was a small frag at the top of the rock, and what I think was the original frag came off of it, with about 25 to 30 polyps on it. but the cluster itself is only about an inch and a half square.
Since I have a lot of these zoas still I kept it as is and going to put the whole thing in as a frag.

i try to go for the bigger is better rule for fraging. I would like bigger frags so i try to give bigger frags.

Also depends upon how fast it grows too, for instance if you get 3 polyps of the yellow parazoanthids you shouldn't worry, they should grow quickly

I'll probly be fragging the ones on the edges... a lot easier and have really NEVER fragged zoo's before.

As for the Montia caps is an inch to inch 1/2 piece good enough?

For the candy cane, I already have 4-6 heads that broke off accidentally.

I am taking the same exact candy cane, I cut off three heads for my friend, and another piece with two heads broke off, so I figured , "Oh well, frag swap goodies" so I mounted it and set it aside, it is three heads now.
