    That's pretty interesting. I wonder if the same mirco-fragmenting philosophy would perform the same with other captive raised coral species.

    Now I'm not a fragging expert but it seems that the mantra is to chop up a mother colony into frags that can heal and be sold quickly. But what it you mirco-fragged a mother colony, would you get 100x more frags to sell, the only downside being you have to wait a bit longer?
