Given the way its growing what I've done in the past to make nice compact colonies is to cut out this section, glue the top back on the base and stick the part I cut out on a plug. It makes the whole colony visually pleasing IMO. Here is an example from my tank.

I used side cutters last time. Cleaned them and rusted to hades.
I rinse mine in RO. I've had them 2 years. Only now starting to rust... will replace soon.

That is nonsense... scrape your algae... you will break enough off then just stack it together ;) everytime I clean I make 5 to 10 frags of stuff on accident. So many large sps copies its getting ridiculous...

Honestly I buy the $10 cheap stainless ones from Amazon and they're kind of disposable. They last about 4 month of My use which I would say is high moderate then I order another one. The pin starts getting too tight is the only issue that makes them not optimal after that long.
