I normaly frag my Blasto. merleti with just bone cuters. Or a dreamal if I can ge to the base of the peice to cut it.

When I frag Blasto. Welsi I use a dremal or a wet saw just like fraging a lord or micro. sence thay normaly dont branch as much as the blasto. merleti does.

Sorry, i meant colony size, not polyp extension, ie. how long will it take for one polyp fragged of a mother colony to grow to say 5 polyps. Sorry for the confusion ex82nd.

my micro has gone from 2 polyps to 8 polyps in 4 months. it seems to produce two polyps at a time too, which is sweet.
