You basically cut off the cap or piece of the cap with a sharp pair of scissors. The coral may juice a lot so you may want to remove it from the tank to do this or do a partial water change after making the cut. The frag will work best it the portion of cap used has some stalk tissue. Cut the cap or part of the cap into small pieces. With the polyp side up, attach the small pieces to a plug with either a rubberband or some super glue gel and some netting. The cuttings should grow.

I didn't know if the Figi was any different because it seems to get ticked off easily.Mine is about the size of a dinner plate and has started to split on its own. I was going to give it a helping hand as this has been happening for other 3 months.

I've fragged my yellow fiji a couple of times without an issue. With that said, this coral has been one of the easiest to keep, none of the horror stories other have had. Problem with leathers are all the varieties with little to distinguish them.
