there's little knowledge of the damage that ocean animals can do to us and other bacteria out of the water, this is why you always hear the pharmaceuticals companies say the ocean has many secrets to be unlocked for future medicines. with the chemicals these animals secrete future medicines will be discovered and accidents like yours can be damaging to the individual because there are unknown antidotes for these chemicals. The damage might not be done the instant it happened, the damage can accumilate over a long period of time. So fragging any corals should be taken with extreme care and protection. I dont think alot of reefers take this seriously enough. Lets keep the hobby fun and frag safely. JMHO. sorry for the hijack of the thread but lets get back to the fragging of rics!

My experience:
Had them in a clean, sps tank, very slow at reproducing.
Changed to a dirtier tank w/ few water changes ( I was gone for 6mo and my bro was just maintaining) and they split several times

Orange were pretty fast. Blue split the most
1 Green/orange mixed never split in 2 years the other slightly different teal and orange split once in 2 years
