So I have a large goni I was thinking of fragging due to the current size. I moved its neighbor today that it was not too happy about due to growth.
I have not looked closely at the skelton in a while.... It has expanded up quite a bit. Should I frag it or just leave it alone? All I have available is a Dremel tool so it would be a bit messy. Then the question is what to do with the frags... I have another goni even larger of the same type. They are SBB Grasshoppers... Any thoughts? Just brain storming.

Idk but I want that shroom , is it really so orange? Maybe it’s called a sunburst or something like
Not sure on the name but it is a yuma, I got a bunch and yes they are really that color but brighter. Think it may have come from ASD a few years ago...

Considering the size of your large goni and its effect on nearby corals, fragging with your Dremel tool is a good solution. Remove the coral to a separate container for precise cuts on healthy areas, creating smaller frags that heal faster. Attach these frags to suitable substrates, place them under moderate lighting with good flow, and monitor closely for signs of distress or recovery.
