Acropora Propagation

[FragOutpost]

Using your cutting tool of choice, pick up the coral and select a branch to cut. You could just as easily use your hands to snap off a branch, but I find that using a tool leaves for a more precise cut. For the more fragile SPS corals you don't really even need to cut through the branch, instead you may find it easier to hold the branch tight with the cutters and twist or snap the branch off to remove it.

Now that your frag has been cut, apply a generous amount of super glue to the cut part of the frag and to the rubble where you plan to place the frag. Stick the frag to the rubble and hold for about 30 seconds or until the glue has begun to set. Give the glue a few minutes before placing back in your reef aquarium.
