I am used to hearing about how some corals take hours and even days to open in new tanks - I was very surprised to see this one bloom so quickly. It is doing great.
Is this a normal trait of this coral?
Also, is it possible to "frag" this thing? I don't see individual polyps. At night after all lights out, it shrinks down into a plump "hand" shape, then in the morning inflates 3x its size and has gorgeous blue-green extensions, but the whole coral seems to be one single "entity", so exactly where do you (yikes) cut it?

Congrats on the new coral ! what kind of leather is it?
They all can pretty much be cut apart whereever with no issues - but knowing what type of leather it is would help in better directions
