Thank you for this video. It is very informative and very professional. Always a pleasure to watch tidalgardens videos. I've just fragged mine as per your method. I've used a scalpel to get a regular round cut. I've managed to superglue the frags on piceces of live rock. I've also rubber band some. Mine didn't bleed any visible turbid stuff in the the water. Frags opened within hours, the parent took days. I've left plenty of the top cap on the parent as it is still hosting my clowns.
Great video! Ive got a large toadstool that is taking over my tank. It needs to be fragged but I'm worried how it'll look once it is. How long will it be before the mother coral heals from the fragging?
I have a leather Toadstool that closed up for a few weeks about a month but when he started coming back out a frag started coming off of him it's hanging by a little piece never cut or frag him before do I let it just fall off or do I need to cut it off
I know you guys did this video a long time ago but I'm hoping you're still replying to comments on it so my question is why use rubber bands and not maybe a little dab of say coral glue or something like that is there a specific reason you're not attaching it with something of that nature or is it more preference rubber bands or just easier to use and cost less than say the coral glue or frag glue?
How do do you remove the mother coral from the live and replace it agian in the same place.i have a nano tank.and mine Is getting way to big.i would like to remove it n cut It down.but I know In a few month I will have to repeat agian.is there a video on this.or can u please explain
I know you mentioned they release toxins when cut... my toadstool is attached to a huge rock and removing rock is not an option. How bad is it to cut inside water?
the only option i can think of would be stopping the flow for a few minutes, and having a third hand syphon out the poisonous fluids. much easier than dealing with poison in your tank

Can you please make a video of what the frags look like after a few months please? thank you
When I saw the aiptasia I went into search and destroy mode. Great tutorial. Thanks.
Great video! Concise and informative as usual!
great vid man,so would you just wait a few weeks and then remove rubber band and how long would it be till they started to grow stalk

So the cuttings will grow its own stalk?

They shed off glue very easily

i fragged mine right after this video and its alive and sattached and growing. i will sell it for 4 or 5 dollars
I really need to do this and sell some frags. Mine is taking up a 3rd of my tank.
awesome video thanks
Can coral feel you cutting into them??? Legit question..
since they don't have brains and a very simple nervous system, probably not.
Thanks that was awesome
this was a great vid thank you for the info!.. =]
Frag
This is completely irrelevant, but you have a very nice voice
Music is unbearable... almost ruins the whole video. Very informative though.
