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!

week or two I am just waiting for them to drop it off.
