I recieved this colony this weekend and there were for morphs on it. I was able to isolate one of the morph, two of the other should be easy to do. But the last morph looks like a single polyp that is being over grown by the others. I would like to isolate this polyp if possible. Here is a picture of what I am talking about:

Any suggestion or idea on what to do???

id say your going to have to break frag in half to get to it safely or frag whole thing up.If rock soft enough you should be able to frag larger polyps away to expose it, sweet frag though nice score.

Thanks for the input. It was a nice score and the best part was it was free :-D [does happy dance]. The smaller polyps are actually more purple, and I was able to isolate a green/teal version of the purple off of it too. I was thinking about letting sit in my tank a couple weeks before trying to cut it up more, what do you think?
