First timer please help

Can I frag this coral... as you can see there are two separate
corals on one rock, I would like to cut the one off at the base,
closest to the rock and place in on another rock for another part of my tank

Is it ok to cut there or do I have to cut a smaller piece from higher up?

Victor1046: I have that coral. I use a sharp knife and, cut some branches off. Than stick on new rock. I do it all the time.

tyler knows what is up
use a new sharp clean chisel and bust the rock in half
the less u have to mess w the coral the better

I agree , cut or chisel the rock!

You can do either . Those slimy corals are tough to get attached to new rocks sometimes.
