toadstool care question

If the base looks like its melting away frag immediately cutting well back from the decaying flesh.

thanks, i cut the crown into 5 pieces i think... all i need in one of two to survive. i have them in a bucket in a low flow area of my tank with some large rubble i hope they take hold

brushing and fragging coral's should be done outside the tank in a bucket or on a old cutting board 4 propagating etc and throw away the old water and rinse in a seperate bucket of tank water

for the bucket

The shallower dish and the most flow you can get without the pieces coming out the better if things get worse/all mushy just throw it out or slice some more pieces using a razor/scissors the frag you have remaining should look healthy with fresh slices,no mush,no rotting ,no discolored pieces

well it looks like at least 3 of the 5 cuttings are taking hold just a few more days till i see how many toadstools frags i get out of this

So how many frags did you end up with?

I am glad to hear that you did not lose the whole coral. Frags are awsome will grow. Or you could sell the ones you do not need.

i haven't updated this in a while.... none of the frags took and now i am having nitrate problems but live and learn, always make sure you inspect your corals before you buy them
