i have the same coral if i'm not mistaken its a cladiella...grows pretty fast in my tank have given a few people some frags already...

[fishkid6692]

how do you frag it? and can you post some pics?

[chronic]

you just need a very sharp knife and slice it quick...

here is a FTS my cladiella is on the upper left hand corner and in the middle...the one in the middle is a frag of the big one....

whats your grow rate for it? mine has grown around half an inch in about a month. i can just glue the frag to a rock?

don't really notice the rate it grows, i just trim it whenever it is crowding...yep just can glue it on a rock...

how long did it take yours to get that big? and do you know anywhere online that i can get more cladiella? i want more of it for my other tanks but i can't find any.
