Fragging/Dividing Green Bubble coral

[Steve]

Has anyone ever cut one of these up? Mine is getting really large and I am contemplating cutting it in half, just never heard of anyone doing it.

It is hard to find some recent info on this. they have a solid skeleton and I've heard of people putting a rubber band around them to make them split them selves.
Did a little research and this seems to be the best info i could find

I have cut them in half ot even quarters. Done at least 10 of them and never had any issues. It is a hardy coral

Do you dip them or anything after Brian? I have heard of peolpe dipping them in iodine and read one article where a guy super glued sand on the cut area, that sounded weird. Thinking of just catching it deflated and cutting with the saw.

good to know Lazy... all the info out there is pretty old for fragging these
I dip everything in iodine after cutting it's an antiseptic that can help corals fight infections

I havent dont any dipping of them afterwards. Just let them deflate by handling them and then cut it in half with saw.
