Hi, if you all found a frag had any sharp looking pieces of either rock or skeleton around the frag, would you trim those pieces away so that when it expands during the day it won't tear on it?

Depends what kind of coral it is. If it's a super fleshy polyp that extends out past the corallite walls I might think about it. Usually I'd just leave it be. What kind is it? Also if you have a pic that always helps.

It's an acan bowerbanki. Got it yesterday at FFM, so I've seen it fairly shrunk. Seems very happy today so fairly fleshy.
Here's a pic. There are two spots. Dead center right up front, and front rght.
Thoughts?

Realized I replied without quoting you.

Looks like they may be septa peeking through the flesh, or just pieces of rock. Either way it seems to be fine and growing around/over it. I wouldn't worry about it unless you've got it in crazy flow, shouldn't be an issue.
Should be fine. Just leave it! Beautiful piece by the way

Thx everyone, it was just alarming to see 2 little spikes that didn't look like skeleton. It looks like this is the cut line from fragging it, so yeah, hoping it'll be fine.
And yeah, I loved this piece. Ultra Corals had two of them, one with like 6-8 heads, but only maybe 2-3x the size. I love this piece, at the same time, part of me wishes I got the bigger one!
