It should also be noted when you frag a polyp, try to do it as quick as possible. Some polyps while they look huge will shrink down fast if you don't slice through it as fast as you can. I fragged my PPE for a buddy and the stalk was sort of thick. As soon as that first cut was made, it shrunk by half.
My fragging has yielded different results. What I do is this:
Place the colony out of water and do a quick slice on the base of the polyp. Dab the bottom dry. Get a nice dry rock and put a little dab of glue. I make sure the entire base of the polyp is in glue but don't overdo it. I let it sit for about 20 seconds and then place it in a bowl of saltwater for about 5 minutes. I then place it in my tank in a low spot with decent flow. I haven't lost one frag yet.
I've never felt superglue heat up though when I glue my fingers down. What is the degree difference it causes?
