how long do they usually take to heal post-fragging?

That's pretty cool.....saves a boatload on shipping too.
Thanks for the link. Some of us won't be able to see it though because they are banned lol.

Daniel, according to that thread, those frags need high flow. It was mentioned that without enough flow, the zoanthids melted in a couple days.
Wonder if it has something to do with the slime coat that builds up around the polyps when damp shipping.

I can try to come help frag this weekend Dan. I would say just cut the plugs up with bone cutters rather than actually cutting the polyp. Less stress the better. Are they on plugs or discs?
