Video: Easily Fragging Acan lord with Coral Shears

I've gotten into so many debates that you don't need a bandsaw to frag most any LPS that I figured it was time to just make a video. You can frag almost anything with the $8 manicure shears you find at your local drugstore if you have a healthy, well-fed coral to start out with that has new growth on a smooth, thin surface.

The most important thing is to place the frags in an area with at least moderate flow and low to moderate light for at least 3-4 days after fragging. No need to spend $300 on a bandsaw to frag LPS, hope this helps!



Here are the pictures of the frags after healing, you can see they're open for feeding and the flesh has covered the old fragged skeleton. Keep in mind these aren't showy sale type pictures from the top down that show all the polyps, just pictures of the fragged edge.
