After reading the tools and precaution article proceed with the instructions below.

With a razor blade or sharp scissors cut the coral near the end of the branch. Leave a small portion of the branch for a quicker healing time and regrowth of the mother colony. Never cut too many branches from the stalk at a given time as it will greatly decrease the chance in survival of the main colony after fragmenting.These are similar to fragmenting finger leather cuttings;however, the Kenya Tree is often stubborn taking hold to a rock or reef plug. Next, place the coral on its new base with thread. This is less of an irritant than reef or super glue. Position the fragment in a low current area in the tank until it is completely secure. Remove the the thread once it is fully attached.
