Coral Scissors 160 mm — Stainless Steel for Zoanthids and Soft Corals - Reef Casa

Stainless steel fragging scissors, 160 mm long. Reef Casa lists them for soft corals: leathers, zoanthids and the rest.

Scissors or cutters: not the same cut

A hard coral gets cut with cutters, which snap the skeleton clean. A soft coral has no skeleton — cutters crush it instead of slicing it.

That's where scissors come in. They slice the tissue cleanly, which matters for a zoanthid or a leather that has to close its wound.

What the manufacturer states

• High quality stainless steel
• Length: 160 mm
• For any type of soft coral — leathers, zoanthids and more
• Handy for hard to reach places
• Contents: 1 pair of coral fragging scissors

Care, straight from the manufacturer

Reef Casa is specific here: rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each use to reduce rust, and store somewhere dry, away from salt.

Stainless steel handles saltwater well, but it isn't invincible. Thirty seconds under the tap after each session is the difference between scissors that last years and scissors that spot within six months.

What goes with it

• Reef Casa Large Coral Cutters — the cutters for the other half of the job: hard corals and their branches.
• Super Set Coral Glue — for mounting the frag once it's cut.
• Reef Casa Frag Plugs — ceramic mounts.
• Magnetic Frag Bar — holds frags while they heal.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly do they cut?

Soft corals: Reef Casa names leathers and zoanthids. For a hard skeletal coral, cutters are the tool, not scissors.

Do they rust in saltwater?

The manufacturer asks you to rinse with fresh water after each use and store dry, away from salt — that's its care instruction for reducing rust.

How long are they?

160 mm. Reef Casa lists them as handy for reaching awkward spots in the tank.
