I have had one for anout a year. Very interesting coral. Non-photosynthetic. After researching, I glued my frag plug upside down in a cave. It has since grown quite a bit. I'll post a pic tomorrow.
I have fragged him twice. I found it hard to keep the frag on a plug. I read that a toothpick piercing the flesh and rubbebanded to a plug works. But not for me. Maybe a needle and thread might work better.
I have a little one still loose on my sanded. It still polyps up at feeding time so it's alive. Just loose. You can have the little guy if you want him.

Big als in mississauga has it for sale.
The toothpick can work if it is wood and up in the main body of the frag. But cutting a portion almost all the way through and let it heal and attach to a frag before cutting fully off the parrent works very well (this is the best method). Sometimes if you frag you can pinch it between small rocks and have it attach. A shallow plastic container should be used with the base below the top and the top of the frag can be above the top in some water flow so it gets food. Not easy to do this way but it works.
