whoa! free coral?
If your interested id be willing to buy some off you, as a matter of fact my room mate lives by San Francisco. Id trade with you, but i dont have anything.....ummm....at all, actually. I was gonna say i dont have anything you dont already have, but all i have is some polyps (which i got for free on some LR, there are like 10 polyps). Ive been looking like crazy for corals, my lfs kinda price-gouges.

Okay Mike, I'll send you a PM later on when I get a chance to take some pics. Hopefully we can do a trade.
Fragging xenia is very easy. Simply cut, with sissors, at the base of one of the bigger stalks. How you attach it to rock is up to you (you might not even want to do it at all if its going to someone else). I've used the needle and thread technique to tie the frag onto a small rock. Within about 4-10 days, it should attach. Works well with leathers and colts too. If you don't want to try that, just stick the xenia deep into your sandbed in a low flow area and within a few days it will attach to clumps of sand. You can then use super glue gel to attach it to your rock.

How about a shroom that is propogating? Hehe, one of my very prolific discosoma striatas as it moved across the rock, leaving a trail of flesh behind. I took this a few weeks ago and now there's three babies.
Very nice. One of the first corals I had was a single large shroom from a friends tank. After about a year it started twisting it's foot up, an finally separated from the rock. Where the foot was another smaller mushroom grew. Kind of interesting all the different ways they have of replicating.
