I have a wonderful toadstool coral, and it seems to have stopped growing. I say seems because my tank is a 220G and it is hard to tell, lol... The tank I got it from was probably a 90 and it looked huge... Mine is about 8-10" diameter, is that just how big they get?
Also, if I frag it, will it simply round back out?
Now, I can only frag it inside the tank (the trunk is on one of my base rocks). Is this going to release toxins, and if so, how do I mitigate the affect of such toxins on my tank? (such as not do it, only do one small piece and wait a few days/weeks before the next one, etc)
Lastly, looking at these things in the wild:
I assume they sort of fall over, and establish a new trunk, while essentially maintaining their existing capitulum (please correct me if i am wrong). If that is the case, how do I do this in my tank? (elastic bands, glue, etc).
Thanks in advance!
**Edit:
Fixed the broken image; I had to copy it to my own image repository for R2R, lol...
Also, I have had the toadstool for 2 years, the first year it grew like crazy, then plateaued...
