I have a basic green hammer that went from 2 heads to 11 in slightly more than a year. I would like to frag it at the location shown and take the right side out and maybe divide that so each frag has two heads. It looks like the best way for a beginner is a Dremel tool with a diamond cut-off wheel. Anything special I need to know about the type of cut-off wheel to get? So I will take the coral off the rock, shake it until it retracts, cut it on a cutting board. Do you dip in anything after to aid in recovery? Anything else recommended to have on hand? I suppose bone cutters and superglue and frag plugs. All and any coaching appreciated. Will be my first ever frag.

Looks like youve got a pretty solid plan. Just make sure youre cutting through just skeleton and not flesh and you'll be fine. Maybe drip some water on the cutting wheel while your doing it. Get the frags back in a dish of tank water as soon as you can.
