Well, I had a pretty decent sized hydnophora in my 20 gal for over a year and its health steadily declined. I think this was due to two conditions: Low light (PCs in my 20 gal) and low flow.

My 5.5 has way more PC lighting (64 watts) so I decided to give my new Dremel, which was an awesome Christmas present, a whirl. I made three or four little mounted frags. Sprung says that "branches can be fragmented, and even small fragments recover well and grow into new colonies". Anyone else frag their hydnophora?
