DendroPhyllia Fragging. Help?

I'm thinking of doing the same thing. Apparently you can frag them up like any similarly shaped LPS, with cutters or a bandsaw. Yours looks so tight I think you will have to use the saw.

I find them to be pretty easy keepers. I don't even target feed them and I have gone from the original 3 to dozens. I do feed the tank pretty heavily, and notice they are particularly responsive to live foods.

The one thing that bugs me about them is how they tentacles fade from bright yellow to paler. Happens too quickly to be dietary so I think it is light or temperature related.
 
Update for this.

A friend has a bandsaw, a nice one. Not sure the model, but it will be here this week.

Counting babies...

Update .. after 26 babies have popped up in all the crevasses between heads, I finally decide to go for it. If I let the babies all grow out, I would have had to cut through heads later on.

Was time to chop it up while I still could.

Plan is to let the babies grow out, and frag again in a month or so.
 
Looking good.

Thanks. The babies are stacked. So I might be able to grow a couple nice pieces out of the bigger chunks. Will update again.

These will be for sale eventually.
 
So the mature heads from round 1 of fragging were mauled and destroyed by inverts. They are gone. And I have fragged again, last week actually.
