To frag or not to frag?

[oregon gorge]

We have a big pink branching hammer (3 years) and have broken it in half before on accident. Now it is big and round about the diameter of a dinner plate.

The problem is that some of the heads are being shaded and dont extend like the rest of it. Oh, and why does it just make each polyp huge, rather than adding branches and polyps? Each head is about 3 1/2'' long and 2+'' in diameter...............

Should I break it into smaller parts so all get light, or, will it adapt?

Thanks, Chris

Are the polyp heads that large underneath? The ones growing underneath mine are a lot smaller than the ones on the top section.

I'd take a dremel to it. Frag trading material

I would frag it and use it for trading stock. Let someone else enjoy your beauty.

I'm with Kevin. Frag it so that someone else can have a great colony like you have plus you can get something new. A win-win situation.

Frag it is then. Now, before I do, I need to find a trade. Anyone?

I'm now seeing the disadvantage of living in St. Louis. Oh well, I'm sure someone in Washington will love your frag.

I am here (Wa) with a new 120 gal being set up..on lookout for frags of all kinds to start populating it!

No frags to trade with "yet"...but have some very nice "reef stamps" (old ones) to "barter" with (Curt? - you need to just Move!)
