Sold to me as a NY Knicks, doesnt have the green mouth yet, but its looking more Golden, has the stripes like a knicks hot purple tips.

Getting closer to being able to frag it, never fragged a coral yet. Might need to borrow a band saw.

You definitely want to use a saw on torches. Cutters can fracture the skeleton, not necessarily fatal to the frag but certainly not good.
