Cutting Torch Coral

[fernalfer]

ok i have a frogpawn that is on a very long stem that look like some branches have been cut off or died away. My question is can i cut some of that stem so it is shorter for placing on a rock. and if so how high up can i go? PIC below:



there is another 1-1/2 inch of stem in the sand

You can go as high as you want.. I would leave at least an inch before the flesh of the coral...

I cut them pretty close, just don't cut the flesh & you'll be fine

what do you think the best method is to cut them and with what tool do you guys use?

I use bone cutters or pruning shears
