Hi guys,
Earlier today, I found a couple baby sun coral polyps on the bottom of my scoly's skeleton when I tried to re-position it on the eggcrate. Ive been meaning to flatten its skeleton for awhile now for ease of handling/feeding if its flat and level. So on the saw it went. Nice cut I thought, scoly can now sit flat on any surface now without rotating randomly due to tankmate disturbance. Then, I said what the heck, let's try to induce the scoly to self-propagate (might not be correct the term). I then went ahead and did a second cut from the back but stops before ripping its flesh. I just want to see what the coral will do on its own. What do you think will happen to the cut? Will it slowly separate completely and mouth will form on cut frag? I bent the 2 pieces to further stretch the cut without ripping the flesh. Here are the pictures of what I did...
