Hello i have a "Whammin Watermelon " zoo i believed they are called. It was the first piece of coral i purchased around 3 months ago it was the size of a dime it is now about the size of an egg and very full. I would like to frag it because my LFS is going to trade me a piece of another zoo for a piece of mine. I have two questions are they posionis and also how do i frag a zoo. Also do i need to cut a minimum amount of polyps i need to keep in the frag

You can do it the easy way, and put a small piece of LR right by the zoo and wait awhile for the polyps to grow onto it and then remove it from the tank. If you don't want to do it that way, you might want to get protective gloves and eyewear. make sure you do not have open wounds. Some are more poisonous than others. Google, there are suggestions all over the place on how to frag these. Some just frag a few polyps, some more. If they take they take, if not...

its pretty easy all you have to do is:

take out the group of polyps place them into the bowl with some water from the tank using rubber gloves carefully cut the polyps with a razorblade inbetween them and remove them from the liverock. Then take a small piece of rock from the tank dry it off add some superglue gel to the dry piece of liverock grab the pieces of polyps you removed with the tweezers and place it on the glue. Let dry for a few minutes then place both pieces back into the tank. This would be the fastest way. Done it myself wirh only 8 polyps by cutting them in half.

another way to do it, is to cut them off as said above, but instead of glueing, get a little bit of bridal veil and use a rubberband to hold it down.

Blane Perun's Zoanthids Mania. Zooanthids information. Special Care Section on Blue Zoanthids, & Rare Zooanthids. All you would ever need to know about the zoanthid

This is pretty comprehensive. It's just about everything you wanted to know about zoos but were afraid to ask.

Try to remember where you place the original Frag, then pull that sucker off thats how i do it....

Mine fragged themselves, is this normal?? Then I just stuck the frags into some LR crevices. They seem to be doing well

[e_baer]

yeah, mine do that every so often as well. i think it is more of they grow onto a little peice of rock or sand and then the current sweeps them away.
