This money making guide assumes an average yield with 99 Farming, an attas plant, and magic secateurs. Yield scales greatly with an attas plant, thus it is highly recommended to have active for maximum profits.

Frags can be grown in the coral nurseries after the completion of Troubled Tortugans. The fastest method to get to the coral nurseries is teleporting to Deepfin Point, chartering a ship to the Summer Shore and taking the rowboat to the eastern coast; alternatively, fairy ring CJQ is somewhat close. Diving underwater requires either a medallion of the deep or both fishbowl helmet and diving apparatus.

Coral cannot be composted so the use of protection is highly recommended. The table below shows the profit per instance for all three coral types, assuming 99 Farming and magic secateurs, as well as the presence (or not) of an attas plant.
