I know this doesn't help but how big was it when you got it and how fast did it get that big?

easy' sharp scissors or a razor blade, cut the "limb/s" just like a tree ( like trimming )

then tooth pick thrue the base of the fragged colt and rubber band it to a small rock.
lay back in tank , then let it attach itself to the rock ( 2/3 days ) then pull tooth pick out .

and WAAAA'''LAAA'......

Looks like a Kenya tree to me.

Just cut off some "buds" and let them go where they will. You will soon have them all over your tank. Surprized it has not already started to spread on own.

My tank is filthy with them.





For this particular coral, it you can simply cut off "arm" and shove tight in small hole in rock. It will attach and start growing very quickly...


Have fun.
