Fragging yellow leathers?

Travis · 12-03-2003, 02:20 PM

I've heard they are a risky one to frag.

Steve Miller (SMiller on RC) told me he just cuts his and the frags survive, but I've heard many other stories of the frags- or worse mother colony- not surviving the cutting.

Anyone have experience with this?

I had got a yellow leather frag from a friend in the past but it didn't make it and it took a long time for the mother coral to recoup and have been afraid to try ever since.

I came across this picture of yellow leather frags- I don't have any myself, but it looks like they have just been rubber banded to some smaller pieces of rock. Also, here is a link to a thread about this on another forum:

My Yellow looks so good, I'd have to have good conditions to want to try going under the knife with it.
