fragging leathers

[Mike Mann]

can you frag a leather? if so how is it done?

If you cant frag it can you trim them without doing any harm?

I have fragged a cabbage coral several times with no problems. I cut with stainless steel snips and rubber banded it to the frag plugs.After about two weeks they had grown to the plug and the rubber bands could be removed.Very easy process really.

Take a pair of SS scissors or a razor blade and chop away. Get a container and fill it with rubble rock. Place the container in your tank in an area of moderate flow and stick the frags in between the rocks. They will attach in a couple of days. they are like spider plants.

ok thanks alot for the info. does size matter could i do like 4-5" pieces. and do i need to do it in round pieces since its a toad stool or will it grow round again?

In this case size does not matter. You can make stars out of them if you like. They will eventually grow round.

thanks

I like Jan's idea of cutting stars. I think you could cut a big happy face from a leather and all of it would be fine.
