Want To Frag Some Mushrooms.

[1234-fishy-freind]

Hi guys.
I have this piece of live rock in my tank, its about 2kg.

Anyway it has about 6 really decent sized mushroom on it about the size 4inches across. But the thing is, the rock is right at the back of the tank in a corner so no one can see them unless you know they are there. I dont want to have to move the rocks around so I can sitaute them somewhere else as I am happy with the layout.

So I was wondering if I could take the rock out of the tank, cut off all the mushrooms at their bases and put them in a floating breeding trap used for freshwater livebearers with large coral sand/LR rubble under them to attach to them put them in a suitable place after a few days.

Do you guys think this will work?


thanks

Agreed, a razorblade works wonders here. You don't need surgical precision, these things are really hardy

Do be warned: they often seem to exact "revenge" for being sliced in half, the only way they know how: by multiplying and growing over all your more expensive corals.

Ok thanks guys.

Lynden, if that does happen, then I will just chop them up a bit more and just have a huge mushroom rock. I have a big 6KG piece of live rock which is already on the way to becomeing that.
