Toadstool leathers base

[downtime89]

Hey guys i have a toadstool in my tank, thats base ( the very bottom of it) has streched between two rocks, about a inch on the second rock. Wat would happen if i cut it from the second rock as close as i can to the first rock with the main coral on it. Might it grow a second leather over time? If it wont hurt it i will be cutting it anyways as its becoming a problem with the leathers location.

Alright well i just sliced through it as close as possible with a razor blade, and moved the small piece were i can see it better to keep a eye on it. the spot were it was cut is about as big around as a #2 pencil, about a inch long with a bigger part at bottom. The Area i cut is white flesh look with tiny little pin prick holes in it. Dont really care if it grows a second one but it sure would be okay with me lol. Never made frags of anything but rics, xenia and zoas.

My old toadstool is coming back from a decaying disease it had, during which i did iodine dips and cut off dead spots, i fully know how bullet proof they are lol that first cut i made on that thing scared me bad lol.

It should be just fine and you will most definitely now have two.

sweet, soon as that thing starts forming a new good one that will give me three toadstools! One of my favorite corals they make a awesome space filler/ center piece.
