    I’m pretty apprehensive about high end zoas. My idea is that high end expensive sticks are fussy about parameters and often stop growing if cut too often. However, if something like a zoa is expensive, this would tell me that these polyps are fussy and may be prone to melting. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    how do you frag them when you can't cut the rock. i get that fragging is easier when it's already on a plate/plug but there's barely any info out there on what to do when you want to frag them from a rock that you can't cut cause it's part of your scape in your tank.

    But ceramic tiles and rocks you get wholesale are totally different do you use band saw to frag zoas ever?

    Great video! What would you recommend for zoas on a plastic frag shelf that has grown out of control... Seems like scraping is my only option..

    Yeah your only options are top scrape the zoas off the rack or cut the rack with a saw or something else. With a smooth surface like acrylic is it pretty easy to get a nice clean cut under the mat of the zoas that won't damage them much. I would just make sure you get all the way under the mat and they should do fine

    For precision, sure. But it’s not worth it. They both perform the same job, both are very sharp, and both will rust and dull quickly. Except razor blades are 4x cheaper.

    Man, i long for times where colonies were called a frag, now u only find a 1cm of a coral and call it frag.

    Those were simpler times. People have found with a stratosphere zoa that if you want to propagate it you should frag them when they first get little babies, instead of waiting them to grow out then fragging them. They seem to die if you frag them when there are a lot of polyps together. Normally I would wait to frag until I had at least 10 or more polyps... which still isn't very many.

    That's the best way to do strats. People found if you frag it when it first gets new babies then they are more likely to survive. If you wait for it to even get a handful of polyps before propagating the survival rate is much lower

    @coralscoral the only real story I herd years ago was a fella in uk was cleaning live rock in his kitchen sink or somewhere in the house and pouring boiling water on them the whole family had to go to icu and the street was evacuated no 2 on the neuro toxin list and anything that eats them no 1 is from a mouse I herd
