Hello and welcome to TRT.

you can frag them. Probably just do a search on YouTube. Leathers are pretty hardy and can be fraged.

Fragging it would be the thing to do. Moving the frags to other parts of tank or some fish stores will take for credit.

Hey Patti, and welcome to TRT!

Love to see some pictures of your tank. I've kept a lot of Umbrella/Toadstool corals, and some huge ones, but never had one try and escape from the top of my tank. :unsure: :ROFLMAO:
What I think it'll do is 'spread', BIG TIME, if it's that happy where it is.......the weight of it will lean it over into the current and the head will continue to expand.

The only 'soft' corals I have had that will grow above the water line are GSPs.......and 'above the water line' meaning out of laziness I experimented with THAT exact scenario, and found they could care less as long as over time, a day or 2, they would be submerged again. ******I do NOT advocate this, I wanted to see what would happen.
All the best,
Hack
Thanks I’ll see what he does seems very happy where he is just wondering what he might do
I've seen them reach the water line and kind of stop expanding that direction so they just sortof stay right at the surface but don't really go out of it. I would move it down personally because it would shadow everything that far up and I don't like the look, but I don't think it will hurt anything.
