I would pull it out, do the fragging OUTSIDE the main tank, these get mad when you frag and that means TROUBLE for you other corals! i would frag and wash and rinse every piece a lot with salt water before putting back into main tank!
if you have another tank to put the mother and babies in i would i just dont trust mad leathers!

thanks for the input.....how long should i leave them in the other tank? would a iodine dip help them to relax
Yeah i recently fragged my leather almost in half and it was huge.....the baby was full extension with in an hour...i sat it in a cup with sand inside the tank....the mother was ticked and just closed up for a couple of days....had a couple of black spots and then opened back up to about the same side before i fragged.....sheesh
i had extra fresh salt water on hand to clean them with and then just placed right back into the tank...no dips for me

I frag them in a lil tupperware full of SW, then do 100% water changes on the tupperware about five times before placing them back into the tank. Change your carbon. If you see them still giving off all kinds of "crap" (toxins) in the water (will look a bit oily) do a water change on the display.
