Fragging Frogspawn Help

[zman676]

I've heard it is possible to remove those little heads that grow at the base of the cuticle of frogspawn and grow them as frags. Does anybody know a good way to do this without damaging the main colony? Thanks.

Those little head will litlerally just snap off. Use some clippers (or small needlenose if you have no coral clippers) at the base of the baby and press and twist. It will snap right off with no issues at all!

Cool!

How big shoud I let them get before doing this?

And, just glue it to a rock and watch it grow?

Exactly. Do it when they are dime size or smaller. This will ensure minimal damage to the parent and yes just glue toa rock with nice light and flow and watch grow!

Doing it when they are bigger won't hurt anything but then it's probably better to get the Dremel out and cut through the skeleton.
