My Duncan has grown like crazy off one branch and it is shading out a lower branch. I’d like to frag the lower heads off, but looks like the skeletal tissue is still bridging the two branches. Is this fraggable?

i have a variety that doesn't lose flesh between polyps (short branching type) and it was fine with cutting (made a bunch of money too).

i'd say as long as its not stressed from bad water conditions you should be fine.
 
There was someone on here that was saying put rubberbands on the flesh to make it recede up for another variant of LPS on here. I'll have to find it. I have a candy cane like this that I'm wary of fragging as well.
 
I don’t have any experience fragging, but when I got my Duncan, it came with 2 heads and on the trunk, there was a spot where another branch was cut off. Over the course of a month or two, it grew new tissue over that cut.
 
Thanks! I think I will wait for the tissue to move up over time. The bottom heads are opening, but just not as fat as the others. Hopefully it will stick around long enough so I can frag it down the road. I hope bone cutters work! Don’t have a dremel and also don’t want cracked skeletons.
 
I did the worlds worst fragging job with some rusted bone cutters on a Duncan and both colonies are doing fine. They are super forgiving IMO.
