You can frag any time. I cut off a branch with a razor and then sew it on to a rock. COlt is tough to glue or wedge between rocks.

That one is pretty big but I usually try to pull it out and put it in a bowl of the tank water, then get my frag rock and needle/thread ready in a separate little bowl. I cut the frag and put it into the little bowl, put the coral back in the main tank and throw out the water. Then I sew in the water (little bowl) as best I can and then place the frag back in the tank in a low flow area. When you take the main coral out, it will quickly shrink, so make sure you already know where you are going to cut. The colt frag will probably look pitiful for several days and then come back. The primary coral should look ok in a few hours to a day.
