I must say though, after my mysterious zoanthid plague, wild caught zoanthids scare the bejuzus out of me...
Hopefully the guys at logicalreef get things up and running within the next month or so.

Almost every coral I have ever purchased was a frag. For me, the real satisfaction of this hobby is watching a frag grow in an artificial environment. Plus, you save a heck of a lot of money and personally, I tihnk it is less detrimental to the natural reefs (not that I can take the highground, I have purchased a few wild colonies in my life)...

ok, Im a little clueless....these frags...are they attached to a rock? Do I attach them when I get them? If its already attached to a small rock, how would it spread if theres no place to go? Im honestly clueless on this.
Thanks Scott and yes nice pics....I want some frags if I figure out what to do with them.

Most are attached to rocks. You can put the rock with the frag onto existing liverock and watch the zoanthids grow over other rocks (encrusting, except were are talking about softies). I always just epoxy in the rock with the frags on it or wedge it into a space within my aquascape.
Now, if you are getting frags from friends, then sometimes they will slice off some zoanthids and you will have to attach them to a rock via super glue gel (or you can put them in a tupperware container or something that block flow and allow the zoanthid to naturally adhere to the rock). If you are using the gel, I would go EXTRA light, as I have seen it kill zoanthids (the guys at logical reef can verify).
I will try to dig up a good zoanthid thread...

Heres a frag that quickly caught my eye at Chad's (reefscience) when I went to visit this past weekend. Neon orange:

Some of logicalreef's old frags:
I think they are almost back in business and currently have some auctions going on ebay. I can't wait, great folks to deal with...

Zeppelin said:Ya, I'm very glad to see Bryan and Lee getting back in business. They got hit pretty hard.....twice.
Agreed. Last time I talked to Bryan, the LFS was back to going like gangbusters, which was a sigh of relief for me- would have been a tragedy to lose Logical. He did say they had plans to go back online soon.
