So, my pipe organ is kinda out of control. It's getting to be the size of a volleyball or a grapefuit. Do people just trim the skeleton and if so by how much? Any benefit to not trimming? Any benefit to trimming?

Pipe Organ corals are very easy to trim/frag. You can use a hacksaw blade (or a coping saw) to cut it in to pieces. Glue the chunks onto a frag tile or rock and you are good to go. If the coral is on a rock in the tank you can cut it off close to the base and it will be fine. If you can, get a blade without paint (or take the paint off) as this will rub off onto the rock/coral as you saw (I'm sure the manufacturers weren't thinking about use in a reef tank). Also make sure the blade doesn't have oil on it prior to use, they often have oil on them at purchase. There was a nice Reefbuilders video a while back where Jake Adams cut his pipe organ up with a cake knife.
