overgrown colt coral

[calamari]

Heres an easy question for you more experienced folks. Ive got a 29 biocube that I set up last November. Nothing has every died that Ive added and that means some corals are getting too big for the tank. A colt (califlower?) coral which I got as a tiny frag at a arc meeting has grown and spread. A 9" long triple stalk has grown to block light below and seems to be effecting a couple of leathers nearby. It was amazing to see it grow so fast but now that it is become too big the thrill is gone. How do I remove or trim? Anybody want it? It is growing on a large live rock so must be seperated from rock.

You can, literally, just pull it off the rock. If any of the coral remains, it will grow back. The pieces you pull off can easily be attached to other substrates.

What's the best way to frag a colt?

I'm trying to remember back to the frag meeting, and I think the guy just literally cut the branches off with shears.
