leather coral issue

[saltwaternewbie12]

I bought a leather coral the other day and it has a second one on the same piece of rock...upon looking closer they are actually on 2 different small rocks but the big ones foot is hooked to both pieces of rock......is it possible to separate them? Thanks for any
help in advance!

You could slice the larger one's base where it meets the rock and you should be ok. You may even have another one grow from what's left of the larger one's foot on the rock you separated.

That's what I was thinkib I just didn't want to kill the big one! Thanks so much!
