Fragging Zoas

you want to scrape them off as close to the rock as possible. even if you can chip a little of the rock away that is even better. but zoo's are very easy to frag. when you get them cut away just put a small drop of superglue on the rock you want them on and sit them on there for about 15 to 30 seconds and then put them back in the water. they are pretty tough little buggars. I have yet to kill a zoo when fragging and I have fragged literally hundreds of them.

yep just get as close to the base as possible and if you can scrape off some rock even better. and when you get them fragged make sure to send some a couple of polyps.

yeah you can do that. I personally just get a towel and pour some tank water on it. and frag them there. But it only takes me less than a minute to frag but either way I think you should be fine. zooanthids are tough little buggars.
