Loved it. This meeting was right up my alley. Thought of some more questions though. I have some acans and favia frags (not on plugs) that are about one to two inches thick. Can I cut those in half, removeing some of the base portion? Or is that going damage them and a big no, no? After handling a coral, some get that slimy gooey stuff around them. Is that a defense mechanism? Is it harmful to other corals close by? Makes me wish I had more to experiment, practice on.
