Actually it really doesnt matter. You can cut it anywhere and the both sections will continue to grow.

www.garf.org has great info on coral propagation. there are some certain techniques that you should use to help increase your chances of the frag living.

Yeah leathers are pretty good corals when it comes to fragging. Any kind of branching type leathers work particuarlly well if you can find some sort of V shaped branches where you can cut right under the V, place a rubberband in the middle/around a rock and wait a couple weeks for it to attach... piece of cake right?

i agree with Speg with cutting under a 'V' shaped branch. very easy to rubberband 'em afterwards

I honestly had a rough time rubberbanding them to rocks. They are so damn slippery. I eventually got them all to stay. I agree cut them near the V sections. Its fool proof.

I have been trying to frag my colt coral for a week now. I cut it at a V then rubber banded it to a rock with all the water movement, I guess,it split in half and went floating. Then I tried the super glue method. That worked fine for awhile until the movement sent it floating again. Now I have glued it and rubber banded it. What I'm I doing wrong? I haven't killed it yet. Got any suggestions?
