Hi everyone :)
Could anyone shed some light on how to frag these pieces without power tools? I don't have access to a bandsaw or anything like that.
The rock they're on is about an inch thick each.

Will they spread to another rock if I place a piece underneath? Then I could just cut the new growth away with a razor?

Yes you could.
Sometimes a Dremmel will work as well but you need to keep the corals moist and it will get messy.
But why fragging it?
Let it grow out into a nice large colony.

Thanks diesel :)
I plan on letting them grow out more before fragging and eventually letting them cover some big rocks. I'm just helping out a local reefer with a few frags first :)
We shall see how this works! I've only fragged softies and branching LPS before.
