stuff u will need
. xenia in need of a shape up
. containor of tank water to hold xenia
. cutting tool ( scizor, razor or wire cutter)
. something to mount frag to (lr or plug)
. rubber band or zip tie
well for this coral there are two ways of doing it. i will show u the way i did for spyder9’s xenia first.
-
find healthy xenia
-
make it shrivle up( it takes alot but make soure u get them all closed up)
-
take them out and put them into the containor. i had to use a bucket due to how larger the rock was.
-
i was luckey and most of the stalks were at the end of the rock. i could easily snip the rock along with xenia off.
-
after i got all the frags i wanted i put the mother colonie back into the tank to avoid any more stress.
- i then took the rocks with the xenia and glued them to a frag plug.
7 then i put the xenia frag back in the tank where it came from.
8 i would reccomend you put these under a little higher flow due to how much slime they give off.
thanks spyder9 for allowing me to frag all the coral. sorry this one d osent have as many picture, my camra lady was snozing i guess.
the other way to do this is to a single stalk off.
pick a nice stalk and cut about half an inch from the base. (remeber to get it ticked off first).
take a rubber band and tie the newly fragged piece down.
it should attach in no more than a week tops.
be soure to put it in a little higher flow.
