Coral frag stones. I designed to make corals multiply

If you are cutting zoanthids from another plug or grow out disc, you can use coral cutters. First, using the razor blade, slice the tissue around the zoanthid polyps that you want to frag; then using the coral cutters trace along the line you made with the razor blade and the zoanthids should easily break off.

Since you are cutting the plug along with the zoanthid, this provides a solid surface that is easy to glue. After you’ve soaked your plugs, dry them off along with the bottom of the zoanthid; add a small amount of glue and place your new frag on top.

Next, let the glue cure for a few seconds and add the coral back into the tank. You will want to use a baster to blast off any mucus the coral has secreted. Once your new frag starts producing new tissue and polyps, you are ready to sell, trade, or give away the zoanthid. Besides making room in your tank, fragging is a great way to meet other hobbyist and share corals from your collection.
