I have a green finger leather(dont know if it's from Tonga or not... Elim(Jason) might know...) and a pink finger leather that I could frag if your willing to wait a week for them to heal. Depending on the size you want (2 or 3")I could do it for 10 or 15 bucks a piece.

Thanx ed

Do you have pics?

 

[Elim]

heheeh no clue and that's cool you still have a piece. I no longer have that coral myself but I know I got it from Rob(jusreefin). I still have the frogspawn though I got from him.

Right on Jason ya I still got it and it's gettin big, really blew up when I got it into the 30 with the other softies. Cool Ed, I dig up some pics for you. Ive had the green finger for over a year now, and the pink for over 2.

do you want to trade a small cutting for a attached Silver tip pumping Xenia?

 

[pcurry18]

so im curious, do you just take an exacto knife and wack off a piece and let him heal or is there more science to that? Let me know. Thanks

 

[Justin74]

Hey ed thanks for the offer but I got corals coming out of my ears. Im just trying to gather some good photos and Im gonna have a big blow out soon of some really nice stuff, so stay tuned all!

pcurry, yup thats pretty much it. Theres different methods of attaching(toothpics, superglue, wedding veil, fishing line etc), just make sure you attach it to a clean and smooth substrate. This will aid in faster recovery time, and lesson the chance for infection.

Ideally you'll want to cut any corals out side of the tank as they'll squirt there nasties which could stress other corals that are subjected to it. I like to cut mine in a container, then let them sit in container of tank water, so the open cuts can coagulate this also helps keep your tank keep cleaner as opposed to putting a leaking/bleeding coral back in the tank.

Yep that’s about it. then take the freshly cut piece run a needle and thread through it and attach it to the substrate you could use a rubber band but if it’s too tight it’ll cut the cutting in half. after a bout 3-5weeks I should be attached and you can remove the thread.
