SPS近20年裡可能是珊瑚愛好者中最受歡迎的珊瑚了。它們是最容易繁殖的珊瑚，話雖這麼說，他們也是最難在珊瑚缸中飼養的珊瑚。
據現在的趨勢來看，似乎所有的SPS斷肢都很小，有的甚至只有半英寸（1.5cm），但是，你可以自己剪任何你想要的尺寸的斷肢。
你可以從健康的SPS開始剪，但是一些組織快速壞死的SPS也需要剪。對於大型SPS，你可以使用鋸進行精確切割，但如果你打算在剪掉時將sps留在珊瑚缸中，一把珊瑚專用剪刀是必需的。
根據你粘的斷肢品種選擇一款適合的底座是非常重要的，帶有堅硬外殼的比如 Montipora nodosa珊瑚需要一個圓盤底座，Montipora digitata則需要底座有一個孔，可以讓你在粘的時候固定住斷肢。
首先，浸泡底座。然後，切掉你想要的珊瑚的末端；當你切Montipora時，可能會有多個組織碎裂，所以最後你會有多個斷肢。
之後，把基座和斷肢底部弄乾，加入適量的膠水，把珊瑚放到底座上，等待30秒鐘，再把斷肢放回主缸。
每天檢查數次斷肢，確保它沒有脫落或者掉在其他珊瑚裡，最初的那幾天你需要把珊瑚分泌的粘液給弄掉。
為了繁殖有硬殼的珊瑚比如Cyphastrea，你需要一把鋸子，簡單地鋸下斷肢後，儘可能的把斷肢底部弄平，方便粘在底座上。
通常情況下你需要更多的膠水來填充珊瑚和底座之間的縫隙，根據上文按部就班來就行了。
再你切下斷肢後的幾小時內你需要保證斷肢有足夠的水流和良好的光照，水螅體開始伸長，斷肢開始包底。
Sps珊瑚的繁殖是最簡單和最快的了，這使得人和人之間交換珊瑚變得很容易。Sps珊瑚有時長得出奇的快，為魚類和蟹類提供了迷人的家園;所以，如果你從來沒有嘗試過，不妨嘗試一下。

Sps (small polyp stony) especially Acropora, have consistently been among the hottest corals in the aquarium hobby for the last twenty years. They are most likely the easiest coral to frag; that being said, they are some of the most difficult corals to keep which is why so many hobbyist desire to grow them in their aquarium.
The trend nowadays seems like frags are getting smaller such as less than half an inch. However, you can make a frag any size you want comparable to the size of the frag plug.
You can start with a healthy SPS colony but some colonies that have rapid tissue necrosis may need to be fragged. For large colonies you may use a band saw for precision but if you plan to leave the colony in the tank while you frag, coral cutters are necessary.
It is important to select frag plugs based on the type of coral you intend to glue. For example, encrusting corals such as Montipora nodosa, would require a frag disc; while Montipora digitata would benefit from a drilled plug to help stabilize it during the glue curing process.
First, soak the plugs like you would with any other coral. Then, cut the end of the desired coral; more than intended pieces will break off when you cut Montipora so you will end up with multiple frags.
Next, dry your plugs and the bottom of your frags. Add a decent amount of glue similar to the size of the bottom of the coral. Set the coral in place, wait about 30 seconds, and then add the new frag into the tank.
Check on the frag every so often during the day to be sure it has not been knocked off and fallen into another coral; you also need to baste off the mucus it has secreted but it usually only requires this initially.
In order to frag completely encrusted corals like Cyphastrea, you will need to use a band saw. Simply cut around the polyps the desired size of your frag; try to make the frags as flat as possible to make it easier to glue.
These often require more glue because you may need to fill the gaps between the coral and the plug. Follow the steps above to glue and cure the coral.
A few hours after fragging be sure that the coral is in good flow and light again. The polyps will extend and the coral will begin to encrust around the plug.
Sps corals are the simplest and fastest to frag which makes it easy to trade corals with someone. Sps corals sometimes grow surprisingly fast and make fascinating homes for fish and crabs; so start fragging and give them a try if you never have before.
