Gosh...must be easiest coral to frag there is...just slice and dice. I just shove hunk in small hole in LR and off they go.

To prune, just cut circle on top to size you want (like making a donut) - should do out of tank if possible as lots of possible toxic coral slime released in tank when you cut. (Anthony Calfo method)

You can then frag pieces from part you sliced off if you want.

Here is "best" way to do (according to Sally Jo over at GARF):

1. Cut the head off of the base as close to the top of stalk as possible. Use clean sharp scissors.
2. Cut the head into two equal halves.
3. Starting at the center of the cap cut each half in thin pie shaped slices. (like slicing up like pizza)
