Fragging a Torch Coral?

[fretfreak13]

Is this possible? I have one in my 29 gallon under PCs and its doing really well. Since it's a rather small tank for a torch (I didn't expect it to grow so fast under my lights! =O) I'll need to frag this sucker eventually. Is this possible? Its my showpeice coral ATM.

Torch coral is actually one of the easier pieces to frag. Although there are much more "technical" methods, this method works (this video is frogspawn, but it's the same method to frag):

I actually have fragged my torch using this method.

Yeah, this is a really easy coral to frag.
I have seen people just snap it with their hands (not recommending this, but have seen it done)
Use scissors or coral cutters (basically wire cutters made out of stainless steel to prevent rusting).
Any way you do it, it is easy.
