In the video “Fragging Coral in the Secret Home Lab – Working with Reef Beef,” Rich Ross demonstrates how to fragment corals in his home lab, specifically managing overgrown areas in his tanks by cutting and re-situating different coral species. These activities are part of Ross’s extensive experience in marine biology and aquaria, underscored by his innovative work in coral spawning and cephalopod husbandry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3knTkakRig
