Fragging giant leather coral
I have a rather large leather coral that's starting to take over my 75 gallon tank and needs some serious trimming, I understand the general idea of fragging one of these but all the examples I see are little pieces, is there any risk in fragging this thing into lets say 6 large pieces?
Thanks in advance! |

I fragged one into 4 before. They are very hardy. Shouldn't be an issue.

You may want to frag outside of the tank using water from a water change.
Obviously frag on a work surface, but put it in water change water for a bit. It will release “stuff” when cut. You can eliminate most from your display tank with this method. And like the other poster said, run carbon after fragging. |

I just use a scissor or a razor blade and chop mine up in the tank. No issues at all. I have to trim it once a month as they grow so fast.
