Re: frags

You can frag most corals...Yes, there are soft corals.....No, anemones are totally different animals.

sea anemone
n.
Any of numerous flowerlike marine coelenterates of the class Anthozoa, having a flexible cylindrical body and tentacles surrounding a central mouth.
Sea anemone
Any polyp of the nearly 1000 anthozoan coelenterates belonging to the order Actiniaria. They occur intertidally and subtidally in marine and estuarine habitats, attached to solid substrates or burrowing into soft sediments. No fresh-water or truly planktonic species are known. Anemones may be very small, a fraction of an inch long, to large individuals more than 3 ft (90 cm) in length or diameter. See also Actiniaria.
