ok sorry for not posting. everything went great!! only took about 10 minutes. it was very easy, just had to cut the rock with my dremel and then the two pieces just easily broke apart and had to cut a little tissue with an exacto knife. but everything went great, and now they are both opening up beautifully!!

i hope they pull through

once you cut bubble flesh it is infected very easily!

you need to cut the skeleton but NOT the flesh - you then put soemthing between the 2 pieces of skeleton so the flesh will split naturally

oh well they seem ok right now because they are all puffed up and have there feeder tentacles out.

I helped a friend frag his bubble coral about a month ago. Dremeled the skeleton and popped it apart. All 4 pieces look as if nothing happened. I even got a frag from it. Been in my tank for about a week, full of bubbles.
