I was very fortunate to received this from DBTC-X last year from Tubeman and the Frag has grown into a 2" diameter, now am ready to frag it and put it back into DBTC-X as second generation, please let me know what is the best way to frag Chalice? I've been using the Dremel with mixed result. Since this is a very rare coral, I want to make sure am doing all the right thing and find a good home for the next gen. Thanks

Good luck Tom, I have no problem if you choose the recipient based on whether or not they will travel with their saw (cough, cough, Ian, Bryan...)

Good job BTW, that sucker is a slow grower and temperamental, I almost lost mine in the move Tongue

Are you going to the swap? If so, I know at last years swap they did some fragging, maybe you could ask someone with one to bring it along.

Tom are you going to the frag swap? Karson asked if I could bring my saw on saturday. We could frag if up there if you'd like.

Be super, super, super, super careful fragging it, it hates to be fragged, I'm about 50/50 in regards to survival post fragging. I'm not saying it can't be done, just make sure to rinse real good and pack in real clean water.

Iani, that is very cool of you but Bryan has offered his saw earlier so I will be at his house before the swap to frag it.

Tubeman, mine has gone through a lot of abuse so it should be fine ... I hope Laughing out loud it doesn't have the dark color like in the picture yet so I am trying out different lighting position. Right now it is sitting at the bottom of the tank, I might try slightly shaded area for the red and black to come out more. what is your experience?

Shaded IME brings the color out, that and a LOT of food (no target feeding though).
