Most all corals have SOME type of defense.. some have chemical, some have sting, some out-grow and some just MOVE!
Yes you can simply snap it off down low where they "V" happens. Just be careful because it's VERY sharp and hard on bare hands. I'd use snips.
I don't know how "GOOD" it is for extended darkness. I know that during storms and such there is "Reduced" lighting but some corals will actually start to try and MOVE/RELOCATE with extended periods of darkness. We had a local guy whose light fixture went OUT and he ordered a new one. It was on Back-Order for like 2 weeks. The only light on the tank was ambient room light. He didn't pay a lot of attention but when he got the new fixture his Rics and an Anemone had moved to the front of the tank. Apparently they were going towards the ONLY light they could "detect". |
