Doug, I'm glad you added the word temperamental in that sentence. When discussing my organ the words: bit and odd should never be used.

My Branching Torch Coral was getting too large. (bottom right in the pic) It was growing up against the front glass and making it tough to clean the glass with the Mag Float.




Here's another shot.




In this pic you can see where it's been stinging the Hydnophora (behind and above it). I also think it may have been stinging the new Squammy because the clam has been moving away from it.




Time to get out the trusty Dremel, hacksaw and goggles.



First chunk cut off. (14 heads)


Second chunk cut off. (9 heads)


And left with a piece with 22 heads



A nice bath in the coral dip.



And then back to the tank.



And the other two pieces to the 225g





1/2 hour: Mission accomplished. Polyps aren't totally extended yet as they're still a little pouty.

Goggles! It is almost as if you have experience with coral-and-other-tank-related-stinky-flying-goo and the perils it poses to one's face and/or travel budget.

Man even your frags of it are pretty sizeable. Cool stuff!

I don't care how skilled you are with that thing Lance... I don't recommend taking it to your organ.

Yes Tony, I've had more than my share of stinky-flyng-goo and the perils it poses.
Yeah, it was a pretty big Torch: 12" across.

Very tricky, and probably quite painful.
