 has anyone split corals? I'm fairly new to corals and we have several varietys. I was told that the mushroom corals can be cut into pieces and they will regenerate. Is this true?  |

| Not sure but a book "The Reef Aquarium" Volume one by Charles Delbeek and Julian Sprung might have the info you need. |

| I've read that you can cut these and have several "Frags". But I decided to just move them around the tank and now I have about 7 new starts. If you want, I can provide the instructions on a surgical method? |
