I have these two softies which are starting to go out of control. I would like to frag them so they are nice and small. Do i have to cut them at the base or can i remove arms? I have a frag tank so they can be put in lower lighting for recovery. Since they are soft and cannot be ss glued how would you mount them?

A good place to learn different fragging techniques is at Coralscaping's website. If you look on the left hand margin you will see "fragging techniques" with a bunch listed.

Interesting link but not really sure how a computer microscope fits in with fragging coral?

I think reefermadness meant to link to coralscapings site. You'll want to use the slicing technique. Use a sharp instrument to make the cuts, and the frags can be attached via netting or simple elastic.

see GARF's site on fragging a common softie, the sinularia: http://www.garf.org/trever/sinu/sinulara.html
