I am new to the hobby and was told that curtain coral can be propagated. I was wondering if anyone has ever propagated a cabbage leather coral and has any advice (ie. directions). Or if anyone knows a site that as play by play pics of propagatin coral (this would be better seeing how I am a visual person). thank you in advance for your help.
 
If you aren't in too much of a hurry, place a small piece of live rock against the side of the cabbage leather, and let the cabbage leather grow onto the new piece of rock. Then cut the cabbage leather between the two rocks.

this worked for me in the past. i had also made a couple of cuttings, but i found it to be surprisingly difficult to cut through cleanly.
letting it migrate on to new rocks is probably the safest way to go.
