i have been looking online for info on fragging yellow polyps. i have a large size rock covered in yellow polyps. it has slightly spread to surrounding rocks but nothing major. the videos i have seen just show people using rock/bone cutters to break the rock up and then they just glue the pieces of rock to other stones. is that the only way to do it or can you cut individual polyps off the rock with a sharp knife and somehow attach them to other small rocks? i mean, if a decorator crab can cut a single polyp off and attach it to himself, it must be possible right?

yes you can just cut them and super glue them in place

i'll check them out when i get home...work wont let me view youtube.

how in the heck does superglue stick to slimy polyps and mushrooms? i was told that you should really never put a caustic<---bad spelling, material onto coral because it harms it...does the slimey coating protect it or something?

Yup....the coating sure does help them. I tried to glue the mushrooms but there was so much mucus that the mushrooms would just get swept away in the current. So I also showed another method.

Even the polyps will get a little loose but after a few weeks they should reattatch themselves.

Good soundtrack...now if I were to do that, I would have myself glued to the LR.

lol...I actually had to cut out a lot of footage because the polyps kept getting stuck to me.
