Well, I made 2 frags from a small clipping on the kenya, 2 Anthellia frags & transplanted a few mushrooms. Now I have to build up the courage to do the zoas.

Gloves and Goggles with doing the zoas. Don't want to read tomorrow that you are in the hospital with some bacteria or poisoning.

Yeah+10 on the goggles. Sometimes the zoas squirt stuff when you get to cutting and pinching and pushing and trying to break the rock.

I'm sure everything is still alive. All of those corals are easy to frag. The biggest issue is usually mounting corals so that they don't blow around in your tank and get lost.

That and any bacterial infections. Good to rinse in some clean tank water before putting them back in the display of frag tank. Lets see some pics.

Looks like evrything made it. The Kenya's may need some more glue. I was very shocked at how rigid they are, nothing like I expected. I thought they would be slimey.

Tooth pic method works good on the Kenyas.

I have some yellow polyps I wanted to frag too but they seemed a little to slimey & hard to get ahold of so I might just drill through the rock to make some plugs.

Just get some LR rubble and put it near the polyps. Give it 2 months and you will have some natural frags!

Well, it's been a couple days & everything looks good and has opened up. Only problem is the Kenya frags have come off the rock I glued them to. Is it too early to reattach them with toothpicks now?
