A bit of reef splitting ...

[Nano-Neophyte]

My friend and I bought an established 75 gallon reef setup from a fellow reefer. We'd like to split up the tank to "seed" our own tanks at this point. Dividing up the rock, live sand, and fish are certainly no big deal .. but dividing the coral is a bit more challenging. I know that some corals can be "fragged" and split in half .. but I'm unsure how this is done .. and which are frag-able. I've attached a list of what's in the tank .. along with their sizes. I'd welcome your expertise here in terms of how you'd split up this lot. Thanks!

why not leave them intact and split the whole lot? then when they are a bit bigger you can frag each and exchange. the zooanthids are better left to multiply by themselves. others like the starpolyps will spread rapidly, you just need to place a piece of rock within reach of it's spreading.

most of what you have aquired there i wouldn't frag yet.
