Reefing newb
Well my first coral ever has grown a little since I got it. At first I wanted to let the zoanthids grow out onto a rock then just cut the rock when I needed, but I'm constantly working on the tank and I'd really hate to mess up the scape. So, I broke out some fragging equipment and read a lot about different ways to go about the process. I noticed that some polyps were growing off the sides of the frag plug so I figured it'd be easiest to just scalpel around them. Well the process went quite well and I can't wait to do it again!
Here are some pictures for you picture fiends!
The victim!
The supplies. Good thing I'm a biology major!
You can see the overhanging polyps on the right.
Here they are after being cut and glued.
And in the tank
And here they are opening up nicely. I had to reglue them. Dumb hermit and his overly obnoxious sized shell.
