Do I need to frag this guy?

[Piper1]

This pic was taken a week ago. It has about 25-27 heads. The heads now are fuller and a couple of heads on the bottom are about to touch the sand. I have never fragged a coral, but is this one needing it? I can get some help from a local, more experienced reefer, but it sounds like these corals are one of the easier ones to frag......

It doesn't have it be fragged, but if you want to you can. Then place the frag somewhere else in your tank.

I had one the same size that I knocked down one day pulling out hair algae...it snapped into three pieces. I separated the three, and now all three have at least 20 heads...So mine survived my "accidental" fragging...I am planning on fragging the three this weekend. I bought a fragging kit from drs. foster and smith (heavy duty scissors, plugs and glue). I have also heard they are pretty easy to frag and likely to survive. I say go for it!

take the branch out see how it structure and just snap them off. Very easy to do just make sure u dont just snap only the head by itself give it a little branch

Yeah, its not like you have to prune corals or bad things can happen like with trees or plants...lol.
