| Re: Shrooms ok to cut?
The easiest way to start and get a "feel" for fragging is to get a razor blade, find the biggest mushroom in your tank, and slice it right down the middle like a pie, make sure to cut all the way through to the rock.
Don't worry when the mushroom shrivels up, contracts or comes out looking mangled. In a few weeks it will either heal up if the cut wasn't complete, or you will have two mushrooms.
As far as fraging mushrooms onto seperate rocks, I find it extrememly difficult to cut a mushroom off a rock to attach onto another rock. When I am actually succesful at cutting a mushroom off the rock, it is from a smoother rock or shell that someone propagated the mushrroms onto.
Keep in mind you can physically mangle these guys up pretty bad and they will survive.
Have fun. This wll give you the fragging bug once you realize how easy it can be to propogate corals. |
