How do you move this!

After 2 1/2 years I need to move my reef to a new house.

This coral started as an inch long frag and is now about 16 inches across. Even if you could get it out of the tank intact, it could never be moved without breaking.




Anyone want a hundred frags?

But in all honesty. I think you could move it in a rubbermaid trashcan. Use some filter pads to cushion it, you might actually get away with it. Of course, if you want to send me 100 frags...

Montipora cap is too flimsy. It is doomed unless the rock it is on can be taken out and supported without touching the coral. I'm moving a smaller dinner plate size one tonight in a rubbermaid. It's in the can! I'll let you know if it makes the trip.
