Zip Tie Method for Propagating Soft Corals

[FragOutpost]

I heard about this method some time ago and decided to givve it a try. This method works for propagating branching soft corals like leathers, sinularia, etc. Basically what you do is wrap a zip tie around a branch and tighten it every couple of days. Eventually the branch will seperate from the main colony and grow a new foot. Using this method virtually eliminates the slime that is associated with the cutting soft corals and can potentially decrease the amount of time that it takes the frag to grasp a footing on a piece of rubble.

Here are the corals that I used the method on. A blushy leather and a sinularia.
