I bought a colony of 12 polyps of PPEs abut a month ago, It had grown to 16 polyps so i fragged 2 pieces one 3 polyp and one 1 polyp about 2 weeks ago, the original colony has grown 2 mor epolyps while the fragged ones have yet to grow any.

Let me apologize in advance of the poor pics 
I started with these
used this scalpel
instead of actually making a new frag, I isolated one polyp by cutting here
as seen in the next pic both connectors to the colony are now broken and it's sitting there all alone
Time will tell

Just an update, just took a good look at the original colony of PPEs and I saw 3 small polyps that i didnt notice before. That brings the total polyp count from 12 when i got it to about 19 now in about a month and a half. The 3 polyps frag is acclimating nicely on the plug and the polyps themselves have grown over the glue and seem ready to bud...I will keep you updated
A little update 8)
The polyp that I isolated is starting to bulge at the base which is normally a sign of new growth.

Sorry Francis, I couldn't find anything to cut them with so I had to get a scalpel. I'll be cutting all four of mine to see what's up.
Another update.... The single adult polyp PPE i fragged has grown over the glue and has 2 baby heads now, You can see the polyps but they have yet to open up. Im getting decent growth rate on these PPEs. The 3 polyps PPE are just starting to bulge but new heads should be here soon!
