Hi, I have a large Sinularia that I would like to frag a branch off. I have only fragged hard corals before. I read somewhere on using a toothpick or something. Do I just reach in, cut of a branch, then put a toothpick through the base and rubber band it to a rock?

Won't the branch shrivel up to nothing went I cut it off?
Any help or suggested methods appreciated.
Thanks
:)

Thanks Amy! Those articles are great.

I guess if I had looked at the article index I would have been self enlightened:D

:thumbsup: Good luck! The mother colony and new frag will be ticked off but don't worry, they will get over it.

Take pictures and share what you did if you can.
