Fragging Zoanthids and Palythoas: Technique, Equipment, and Method

Posted on by

Zoanthids and palythoas are incredibly popular and vibrant coral species that can add a splash of color and diversity to your reef tank.

Fragging, or fragmenting, these corals allows you to propagate and expand your collection while promoting their growth.

However, it’s crucial to use proper techniques and precautions to ensure the well-being of the corals and the overall health of your tank.

Gather the necessary equipment

Before you begin the fragging process, it’s important to have the right tools on hand. Here are some essential equipment you will need:

  • Safety gloves
  • Safety goggles
  • Fragging tools
  • Frag plugs or tiles
  • Coral epoxy or glue
  • Healthy Coral Colonies
