Duncan advice, frag or leave it?

[DewDew92]

Hello, was just looking for some advice on my Duncan. It’s got a few heads lower down and I’m starting to worry that they may be abit shaded by the larger heads?

It’s kind of an awkward shape to reposition so there all evenly in the light.

Am I concerned over nothing? should I just leave them be and let them do there thing? Or do you think it would benefit from being cut into two pieces?

The smaller heads will take abit longer to come out in the mornings and seem to retract maybe half hour before the larger ones at night. Other than that they seem ok.

Thanks in advance!

It ultimately is up to you. It will keep growing upward and the polyps at the bottom will suffer because of it, but that's the natural growth pattern.

While it is up to you, I personally don't like the "tree" look when a frag starts from a thin growing point, so once it gets that big, I chop off the bottom "trunk" and nestle in the "trunk" within a crevice so it has more of a bouquet/bush popping out of a rock look and not a barren tree
