Plate Coral advice

I have a Purple Plate coral that is growing like a weed just wondering if or how to frag it if even possible any advice would be helpfull thanks

 

the best way i have found is to get a piece of the mouth with each frag. dremel w/ diamond cut off wheel works best for me.

 

I am not a fan of dremel tools with this kind of coral, the flesh seems to tear pretty easy. For some of my frags I took a 1ft long piece of 1/2 pvc and cut a notch on one end. A razor blade of whatever size I needed would go in that. I then would put that on the piece of coral I was wanting to frag and whack it with a hammer.

Nice clean quick cut with minimal stress to the coral.

 

The best thing to use to cut it up would be a wet diamond blade bandsaw

 

All my plates I just broke a piece off and mounted to a plug . Just would reach in tank and with hand snap off section of plate.

 

Thanks for all of your help i posted a pic of it in the photo section and plan on fraging it out soon.

 

Let us know how it turns out.
