Good question. I don't think it is. They do have "innards" and splitting one in half would stress the coral to no end i imagine. I wouldn't try it. If they survive the shock they have to survive any kind of diseases that may attack their wounds not to mention killer hermits, crabs, and shrimp that may try and eat them.

I believe that you may have to wait for an open brain to split? Here is info on bubble coral.

Well i stand corrected. I guess you can. But the damage factor is alot greater....
