Help! Fragging or moving Leather Finger???

[vkangster]

Dear Experts out there....

Attached are pictures of my tank.

The leather finger is growing day by day(even spawn twice and made my water super milky) and has outgrown it's territory. Poor Favites got stung/tickle every day until started to recede liao.... Any suggestion on safe and effective method to remove/frag the leather. It is firmly attached to 3 pieces of my live rock... wondering how to let it release it's footing without disturbing my setup as much as possible? Heard that the finger will release toxin in tank if I use force in removing it...???

thks again for great advice

Can leather coral be fragged?

Can leather coral be fragged?

I think yr finger is not fragging, but rather releasing toxins that make yr water cloudy.

Place yr LPS away from the finger, coz once they gana sting by LPS or other corals, they will release toxins to protect themselves. And these toxins if not remove fast by yr filter, will kill some of your corals.

If you want to frag, cut the stem. But do not cut it in yr tank..haha. Prepare a pail of salt water and frag it in that pail.

A lot of milky stuff will appear.

But i suggest you give away the finger.
