Yellow Figi Leather
Here is a picture I took this morning of my first frag from my yellow Figi leather. It's my favorite soft coral. I was afraid to cut it but after this frag took off I now have made 2 more just like it.

Jeff,
I used a pair of sissors
and just lopped off one of the lobes. The cut edge of the parent colony quickly healed over in a few days. I didn't take pictures right when I did it.

Those are the best leathers. I had one for a while but it died after 6 months for some unkown reason.
Yours looks great.

They don't seem to bother my SPS like my colt coral did.

This is one soft coral that likes pretty high lighting. I originally kept it under 175W Halides with VHO's 10-12" below the surface. Now it and the frags are under 400W halides with VHO's. I've heard they often turn brownish color under lower lighting. Mine is very bright yellow.
