Fragging LPS

[Reefried]

I want to frag a few LPS mostly acans and I dont own a dremel so what is the best way to do this? I know dremels are pretty cheap and I'll probablly get one but If its not too hard to frag without one then I'm up for that too! Any info is appreciated

It really depends on the coral and the rock it is on, plus the shape and thickness. Everything from a chisel and hammer/flathead screwdriver/razor/dremel/band saw. they all work. and depending on the particular piece depends on which method works best. When looking to frag, especially Acan lords, make sure the coral is completely closed, no polyps open. You will be able to see a perfect line to follow.
Best of luck fragging. and don't worry if you have to cut a polyp, as long as conditions are good and the polyp is not mangled, it will heal up well. And you will be surprised at how quickly

If you have some Acans that are getting to large for your tank I'd be willing to give them a home.
