So I'm still new to reefing but have this coral (I was told a cabbage leather) it's slowly but surely getting bigger and bigger. I'm just wondering if there is an option of trimming it? If so, what the process is to ensure I don't damage it etc...

Thanks

There are some excellent ‘how to frag a leather coral’ videos out there. Maybe you can get some ideas.
 
Use sharp scissors and attach cut pieces with rubber bands to small rocks. They are very hard. I have some of them growing for years in my tank and I frag them regularly.

I just got a small frag, would love for it to look like that one day :)
