shame they didn't show the origional coral after the piece was cut off. Otherwise Awsome article.

I agree with DouglasTiede. I would have liked to see them after they were fraged from. Very nice though.

good to know you can frag those corals.....i was always told you couldn't because damaging the tissue would cause it to die......glad to know it's not true
