GSP safe time out of water

[z28cam]

How long do you guys think i could keep my Green Star Polyps out of the water safely to frag them before causing any ill effects to them?

Im guessing it will take all of a minute or so to do what i have to do.

That will be fine, I'm sure even 5 min would be ok.

ive had a rock outta water with them on it for 20 minutes ,, they were fine

[slave-of-rock]

why would you have them out of water for 20 min lol, just a question

maybe nuclear forgot it was sitting on the counter

re aranging a tank and fragging... I leave acroporas out for 10-15 minutes to, , They are exposed to raw sunlight for hours at a time in the wild..

I've sat with GSP out of the water for 5 to 20 minutes many times.

Also, I've had my zoos sitting on the cutting board for hours, no problems.

just as long as you arent drying your corals with a hair dryer, they will be fine when you take them out.. Sponges are the only thing i can think of off the top of my head that would not make it through this..

I remember there being some other coral that if air got trapped underneath it. It would die to, but cant remember which one it was.

I'm sure there are many others that have problems with air, but Sponges and Sea Fans are the 2 that we have immediately available to us as hobbyists.
