Branching, Plating, Encrusting SPS - Aquascaping

[Bear22]

Guys,

What SPS corals of the plating, branching, encrusting varieties are easiest to "aquascape" via trimming/pruning? When I mean "easiest" I mean the physical process of trimming the coral back and the ability of the coral to recover from the trimming process.

I ask this not so much for fragging purposes, but rather for real estate (available space) purposes as my aquarium is in the nano size class.

Thanks for ideas and suggestions!

They are all pretty much like fine china and regularly break off frags when mature. Montipora Capricornis is plating, Monti Setosa is encrusting and branching. Monti digitata is branching and easy to frag. Acros usually require cutters to prune. I prune all of this on a regular basis.
