well, thin fingered coral, you just cut off a finger and attatch it somewhere. spaghetti finger, you just need to let it grow out and do it on its own, at least thats what ive read about it. and the green, if your talking about the toadstool green, you just cut about 1/4 of the crown peice off withough any of the stalk and attatch it somewhere. hope this helps. i also have a toadstool, and i frag it every now and then, just make sure you glue it somewheer, i was careless and didint glue this peice and it got swept away never to be seen again.

I recently fragged a large finger leather into 5 sections, I cut the sections that I want to frag, and at the base I cut it flat as much as possible, it would be really slimmy at first, I tied it on to a rock , but the rubberbands cut into the coral after a few days, bad Idea, then I tried to have it attach on its own by placing rock around it, that took for ever, best thing was to cut then place into tank and let wounds cure, (harden a bit in gravel, about a week or so, when the coral reexpands to good color and size) I use superglue GEL, put a few drops on a rock and place the coral base on to ir, It will burn the coral a bit at the base, Hold it ther for 60 seconds without moving then place coral back into the water, the super glue will cure inthe water, my finger coral was purple for a few days but it perked up in a week, now its growing wild again 5 big ones, easy to frag.
