I have a Physogyra bubble coral that is getting WAY to big. It has a bud in the back, and is hitting the rock to its right, and is about to hit the frogspawn to its left, any safe ways to frag these guys? Should I first try to make more space for him before ***ging? It has around 7-8 mouths and is 8" across. I will get some pics after it is done being pissed off.
 
I just moved it to a ledge I made for it so it could have some more room, when I did that though I noticed the bottom of the skeleton (the exposed part that was in its crevice) had grown a large sponge on it. I peeled it off and I realized the bottom of the skeleton was not full anymore! The sponge had softened the skeleton and it just came off. After I set it down again a bristle worm started poking its head (I think) out, so I really hope he doesn't screw things up in there. I couldn't tell what type it was, but it was red and its "spines" were around 3/4 cm apart. Luckily, my Ca levels are pretty high (usually hover around 500-520) and all my other levels are good as well.
