Default Worth Fragging?

Now that I actually have some pictures up, can someone tell me exactlly what all the mushrooms in my tank are & are they worth fragging or removing whole? Also, I believe I have a couple kenya trees, are they big enough to frag yet?
Hate to make you bounce around but you will have to look at the pictures in my other post in reef discussion called "Some pictures"
Any help would be appreciated.

I dont know what kind of mushrooms they are but if you know how to frag them then yea, it is definitely worth it. If nothing else let them grow out a little bit and then sell them in the RB marketplace, and that is if your LFS will not buy them off of you. If you are new to fragging Elliott has some really nice instructional videos somewhere on this site under the coral prorogation section i think. I know that Tonz just had a Kenya tree frag itself and he was able to sell all the frag pieces to his LFS for 10 bucks a piece.

They should be a piece of cake! Get a razor blade and cut a branch off. To attatch it to some LR, you can use the toothpick method.

"Frag" of the Month - September 2006 - Fragmenting a Green Tree Coral - Nephthea sp.- Reefkeeping.com


You can also use some thread and needle. I just used the thread and needle way a few days ago.

Thread & needle sounds cleaner. I'm on the hunt for a good fragging tank. Once I get one setup, I will frag the 2 tree's & a whole butt load of mushrooms. Thanks for the help.

I used a 20g long and 130w of PC lights for my frag tank. Then I threw in a heater and powerhead I had laying around.
