Very nice piece man. No, I probably wouldn't frag it either....likely not worth the risk IMO. The only time I would ever consider that is that if I had a long term, healthy, feeding and growing one, I might be tempted to take a small pizza-pie cut of tissue out of it and trying to get that to settle.
Still, more than likely to fail and certainly very possible to initiate an infection in the parent colony to boot. Besides, you frag it and then the exclusivity factor goes down.

it amazes me how open people are about buying selling, and owning illegaly imported corals, i'm suprised that RC tolerates any of these threads. The fact that you can buy illegal corals on ebay..by searching for coral and japan never ceases to amaze me..

You really seem preoccupied with the Illegal thing? Mammoth Reefer... Have you read CITES to understand what actually makes a coral legal or Illegal? its not because it rare, not because it is endangered... and furthermore just because someone says something is Japanese or from some other CITES restricted collection area does not even mean they know what they are talking about... Much like the kids selling Macadamia nuts as Crack in the 90s.. you go into every thread harping on this? while there are very many highly educated reefers in this forum who have polarized opinions on this subject I have yet to see you say anything more than hersay and conjecture.

HHHmmmm
 I havent heard them called that? I just call them open brains LOL they used to call them Trachyphyllias, Wessolophllias ect (forgive my spelling) but I think they have gotten away from that. Pacific Rose Coral is a pretty name though

I was under the impresion that "japanese brain" was a color morph and not a geographical situation. This obviously has nothing to do with CITES which is a horrible horrible treaty that does as much to hurt wildlife as help it. The japanese brain is so named because the collectors of the corals know they will be paid 10x for a multi brain to japanese buyers than american.

All of these "open brains" look like Wellsophyllia from here.
I'm not really seeing anything rare or unusual... it used to be quite common to see rainbow wellsos offered for sale. Perhaps the fact that they aren't being captive propped is driving up their price tag. One word of caution: Angelfish love to pick at "open brains".
