Default Video - Fragging - how to frag corals and float the frag to the surface!

This video shows you how to frag corals while still in the tank, gives a good overview of some techniques to get your coral piece to float to the surface once you frag it from your main colony. If you have lost little coral pieces into your rockwork never to be found again, you will know why this is such a useful technique! Feel free to adapt it to your needs, it should give you some ideas if you need to be creative.

Thanks Josie and Mike for the feedback and kind words!

Loosing high dollar frags behind rockwork is extremely aggravating, hope the technique comes to mind when its time to frag some corals in questionable and hard to reach locations.

It's a pretty simple trick and can be modified to suit your needs, sometimes you wont need the rod, sometimes it helps, etc.
