I'm 10 months new to coral, many years with salt water tanks. I love my Duncan but am wondering how big can they get? How do you frag them? It started as two heads and now has 16 or so.

Mine has easily gone from 2 heads to over 50 in 2 years. In our tanks, they will continue to grow till something upsets them, or you frag it. You have to cut down low below the green flesh to frag.
If my lights were on I would post a recent pic of it. Heres one a little older:

it will get as big as you let it get. To frag it watch this.

Very nice and thank you!Mine has easily gone from 2 heads to over 50 in 2 years. In our tanks, they will continue to grow till something upsets them, or you frag it. You have to cut down low below the green flesh to frag.

I don’t need to cut it yet but will at some point for sure.

You can use bone cutters, but they tend to crush and splinter with those. I would only frag it with a wet saw, where one can cut cleanly through the skeleton.
