They are fragged by using a chisel or Dremel. You just cut between the polyps and voila! ------------- Sean Spargur West Valley, UT |

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 ------------- Educate. Inspire. Conserve. http://[email protected] |

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 ------------- Susan Matney Farmington, UT |

I got dibs on the first frag of the top one. That's a VERY nice echinata! ------------- Sean Spargur West Valley, UT |

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.  ------------- Josh Zorn 45G reef lots of tropical plants Cell it 910 3924 |

Js55, They are ok in lower light with pc's but I belive do better with halides.
Nate, Will see how they grow  ------------- Contact me for professional aquarium maintenance and localy grown coral frags. [URL=http://www.aquatitranquility.com][/URL] |

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! ------------- Sean Spargur West Valley, UT |
