Fragging Galaxea??

[nolen502]

I pick up a galaxea yesterday and am thinking about fragging it into 3 or 4 pieces. im not real big on fragging yet because ive only been doing it for like a week:nerd:....ive seen many different ways to do it just wanted to get the best opinions on whats the best way to do it.

You can use a dremel with a diamond blade, a small band saw or a tile saw.

would a drimmel or bandsaw not heat the coral up to much?

 

[SaltWaterDave]

It could heat up the coral so you may have to stop cutting and dip it back into some water to cool it back down. It depends on how big of a cut you need to make.

would a flathead screw driver and a small hammer work to like break the rock into pieces?

 

[droblack]

Diamond bandsaw with saltwater irrigation would be the cleanest and most controlled method of fragging. Flathead screwdriver and hammer would work too, just less controlled. I have fragged a galaxea by accidentally dropping it on the floor. Crude, yet effective.

im gonna try the screwdriver option tomorrow since i dont have access to a band saw. wish me luck lol
