Toadstool leathers are fairly easy.

Most leathers are super easy to propagate. Colts are about as easy as they come.
Slice an arm off, lay the frag on some rubble or crush coral, glue the rubble/crushed coral to a plug. Done! You will run into stubborn leathers that like to slime off the plugs though. Sticking a toothpick through the base and gluing the toothpick to the plug works for me. |

I just fragged my first toadstool leather today. I cut it 1"x1" inch pieces and used rubber bands to attach to plugs. I tried not to get the bands to tight. Should that work?

I have a stubborn Bubble tip anemone that won't stop moving. This may sound ridiculous, but would sticking a toothpick in it and attaching weights to it help like with stubborn leathers or is that a dumb idea that would kill the anemone?

It is moving because it isn't happy. Either flow, lighting or a chemical imbalance is upsetting it. I would start a new thread in the anemone forum about it. They should be able to help you out.
I would definately NOT stick a toothpick through it and add weights. |
