At the Garf website they discuss why breaking the (SPS) coral for frags works better than cutting. I have no experience with it though.

Interesting. Perhaps because the break will more likely happen along seems and less dense structure of the skeleton. Making the healing process happen becuase its stronger structure/and or growth origins are still in tact. Rather than you or I cutting a line to suit our preferences, possibly part of there genetic design?Makes sense, and you could go pretty deep to support it I'm sure.Cool trivia, thanks Warren

In my particular case there almost a necessity. With a colony that half of died, I wanted to trim the dead off. But my first attempt at simply snapping twigs made me realize the fragilness of the base and not being able to withstand the twist and pull. Which was really the case even with the cutters on my second attempt at pruining there were a few that I had to twist a lil to get it to snap off.

I normally just take the coral out of the tank and use my heavy duty gardening sheers, but some are encrusted and theres no way I can stick that grungy thing in there, so I opted for the cutters

Did I mention the sweet coral I got?
Dont hear to much about some of your guys/gals'collections, anyone on a mad Zelda trip collecting the 9 stones across the ends of the earth in a quest for ultimate enlightenment? Anyone?
Ive been on a serious scavenger hunt for a few genus's. What are you guys looking for?Talk to me, I'll talk back

Well I've been on a spending spree for nice SPS in the last few weeks and doubled my collection. I also found a mandarin that eats frozen mysis . Now I'm setting up my 10 gallon for the N-R.com contest. To see the thread click here

Ive been collecting every morph I can get my greedy lil hands on of: acanthastrea, and leptastrea.

I picked up the blue lep, and the lep that looks like radioactive dragon eye zoanthids.
