Hello reefers!

1.) identifying this piece of coral, its on a stony base (ball shaped with little holes or home) and the coral is soft and moves from the top part, sort of erects and goes back according to light and touch.

2.) how can i frag / split / reproduce this coral

Looks like Goniopora to me.


As for fragging I have not fragged any of mine but my LFS frags them and simply cuts them with a diamond band saw. Not sure if there is anything special to it.

these are mine

Its a Gonipora (Flowerpot) that is a bit retracted. Not sure how to frag it at all. Here is mine.
