I think this is a red Monti plate? Any idea exactly what it is? I have had it a couple years or so and it has gotten pretty big. It is probably 12-14 inches from the left to right. It is attached to a rock about the size of a closed fist that is under the back right side. It has grown from the right to the left.

I would like to break it in about the middle where it looks narrow in the picture and i guess attach the left side to a different rock. What is the best way to go about this? I want to make sure that i dont remove the left side and then the left side not survive. From my understanding i think i can just glue it to another rock?

Montipora capricornis, monti cap or cap for short. Looks to be an orange or red morph. Easy sps to keep, grows fast and is hardy. Just break is as you see if, it can be thick and hard or thinner and brittle.
