Looking for some general advice on trimming up a large toadstool leather. Its encroaching on my hammer coral. Is it as simple as getting a sharp knife and cutting off a section of it?

Pretty much, i touch it so the polyps recede. I then use scissors to cut off the section. If u run carbon, id put a new one in. Everytime I cut leathers, i replace my carbon.
 
Yes watch out if you have acros when you do that in the tank.
 
move the hammer!...haha Cut a piece off and super glue to frag plug.
