Frag leather in Biocube?

[MariahP]

Hi team!
I have a 32 gallon Biocube and a leather coral that’s grown…very large. I’m wondering if I can frag it in the tank?

I know it’s best to take it out, but I don’t have a good way to go about that with where it’s placed in my rockscape.

Take it out if possible and place into a container of tank water and do your cuts.
This will reduce chances of lower level toxins being released.

I have always fraged leathers out of the tank (they really slime a lot when cut). I would get it out first, even if it's inconvenient.
