They are fragged by using a chisel or Dremel. You just cut between the polyps and voila!

Sean, I believe the "voila" part happens when you collect the paycheck for these fancy little frags. Or is that the "ta-daa" part, I forget! Anyways, I here it is a magical moment.
Presto,
Jamison

Bruce,
They are awesome. I'm probably going to just stick to lords (although I have two echinata's to halve with Sean). The top one is awesome though. Remember, I am a woman and can change my mind  .

I got dibs on the first frag of the top one. That's a VERY nice echinata!

What kind of condition do these corals like such as
lighting and such. If I can provide that I call second
dibs on the top.

Bruce is exactly right. They will grow fine under low light, but to maximize growth and color, they're best under MH lights.
Js55 - Echinata usually run from $40 to $80 for a frag and Lordhowensis (another species of Acanthastrea) run from $75 to $125 a head. They aren't cheap!
