Fagging rhodactis mushrooms.

[jc_k]

Are these the same as plain red/green mushrooms? Or are they more sensitive. I really want to frag mine. Because they are getting really big. But I don't want to kill then either.

I think you forgot a "r" in the title

 

[totalchaos13]

lol!

 

[heathlindner25]

unless there something I don't know about going on with those mushrooms....

 

[jc_k]

IM SOO SORRY DIDNT MEAN TO PUT THAT.... Can I change it....

Edit: wait so can anyone answer my question? Just ignore the title.

Yes, they should be a very hardy coral species, as most corallimorphs are.

There are several was to frag shrooms. How do you plan on going about it?

 

[jc_k]

Well I payed a good penny for these shrooms. Im kind of afraid to but I was just going to slice them in half.

 

[cbj25]

I would start with one as a test and see how that goes. Are you going to chip them away from the rock or cut them in half where they sit?

 

[jc_k]

Cut them in half where they sit. They both are all on a small rock that is sitting on the bigger piece of LR.

 

[cbj25]

think about the future of what you are doing. If you want to frag them right now because they are too big and your solution is propagating more... 6 months later... your problem is 2-3X bigger. I would remove the coral if you dont like how big it gets or the growth rate OR chip them off (not hurting the foot) with a chisel and either sell them or grow them out.

 

[jc_k]

I think I'm gong to chip some off and possibly sell them. Thanks guys.

You may want to slice a small piece of the foot. It should be pretty easy if it has any of the foot kind of stretched. I have one that has walked from on side of a rock to the other leaving pieces as it goes. I'm up to seven individuals plus the original. The pieces are small and take a while to grow however. The oldest is maybe 6 months old and about 2".

If you sale I'd be interested. Look like some cool shrooms.

 

[jc_k]

They are to. But it seems like they just keep growing. I've had them for about 6 months and only one red one has split. I probably will frag them when I get my frag tank set up in a coupe of months.

You can also chip part of the rock they are on and put a rubber band tight over the middle of one and it will cut itself in half.
