Default How to frag anytype of Starburst

Starburst comes in many varieties but all are fraged easly.

Materials:
Rubber bands
Small rubble or larger rocks (2-4 inches)


Note: this can take time.

The easy way:

1. Locate your starburst.
2. Put a small rock next to it.
3. Wait a long time like a good month.
4. It will spread on the adjecnt rock around it.
5. Take the rock and a razor and cut the connection of polyps between the rocks.
6. Now you have a seperate rock of starburst.

A differnt way:

1. Locate your starburst.
2. Take a razor and cut a small section of the colony. (you might have to peel it off aswell)
3. Take a rock and rubber band the new colony to the rock.
4. This will take some time, but the polyps will begin to attach themselves.

Note: Do not worry if they retracted when you do this. They will eventually come back in a day or so.

Good luck and happy fragging!
