Candy cane frag?

Should I frag this? It looks like the polyps can't grow anymore and are being squeezed?

I would cut a branch for trade are to sell it. Looks good

They can, believe it or not, grow much larger.

Here's one of my colonies:

oh wow! So you don't have to cut them and make room for growth by the look of yours lol. I was thinking it might cause stunted growth.

You know what's crazy, that took off on in growth under them cheap Chinese black box LED's lol. This was it under them XR30 in the big tank. Nothing would grow in that tank, everything was just barely alive.

Mine was at one time much bigger. I'd say 500 heads total. Fragged some off and I ended up with the second becoming a 200 head colony.

All of these started out with two heads almost dead as a Father's day present seven years ago.

Let them go and they will grow!

All Chinese Black Boxes over mine.

Everything has been growing great since I put it in the 40g breeder with a black box LED. Look at the before and after of this umbrella.
