Hi all. I have this spectacular cabbage coral that is getting a little large for his/her space. So I figured hey let’s frag it a little and share with my friends. Perhaps make a trade or two. I watched several videos and looks pretty darn simple. However. In every video. They take it out of the tank. Well this bugger is very well attached to the rock and I think I need to cut him in the tank. I know it will release some junk if I do that. Do I need to be concerned about that. Keep in mind. It’s a low bio load 112 gallon display. With 400 gallons of system water. Is the dilution enough to not worry or should I try harder to get it out. Oh and it 8” wide and 5” tall

Matt, I have a large pink one. I actually ripped it by mistake and ended up with some smaller ones with no problem. My nepthea is to large to take out as well so I just turn off the pumps grab a net and scissor and dive in. I have also cut the cabbage the same wway.

That’s real good to hear. Thanks mark. I feel much better

Perhaps when it heals we could Trade a piece of pink for a price of electric green. Trust me iPhone is not doing it justice. It practically glows in the dark.

Anybody recommend what size pieces should I cut for best results. In other words would larger or smaller frags have better success

smaller frags grouped together grow faster.Read a article and they stated this way they grew like 35 % .i will try to find article.

You should also run carbon if you cut it in the tank matt. Awesome color cabbage!

I realize the Gold Fish I am featuring in today’s pics is outside the scope of this forum. But @Paulie 069 convinced me that such a pretty boy deserves a moment in the spotlight. Below is our fancy boy rescued from a school of feeder fish by my granddaughter

He really blossomed into quite the fish. Enjoy. And happy reefing
