I have a rather large Colt Coral.. It is absolutly beautiful.

I would like to get it spread out a bit, in other places in my tank.
Is there a suggested method of making cuttings? Or can that even be done with this coral?

From what I know, they are pretty hardy, but this is one of only 3 types of coral I have (Cabbage, and a mushroom are the other 2), and I don't want to do anything that will cause perm. damage to it.

All in all, at full "bloom", its about 6" in diameter, and about 5 to 6" high, from base to tips. The "trunk" is about 1, maybe 1 1/2 inches in diameter.

Water conditions are as pristine as I can keep them, flow and lighting are good.. This colt coral does great, and looks beautiful.. ;-)

Just want more of em, and if it can be cut and spread, it would save me a TON of $$'s.

Thanks. ;-)
