Great Article! I can't wait to get home to cut up my turbinaria. Only thing I kept thinking over and over was "Wow that must smell like heck...."
As a side note I have often noticed when hacking up a plate coral you can often get it to produce 'buds'. I believe Anthony Calfo stated it was an emergency prop. effort by the coral. It seems to think it's life is in danger and it produces buds.
It's very cool to see. Do a search in member galleries for 'fungia' and you'll see a couple of examples there.
I would love to see more step by step photos of prop. techniques on corals. I think a lot of people new to the hobby would really benefit from that!!!
