I have a question and I had some trouble finding the answer.

I use both epoxy and super glue to glue down my corals, I have a coral in particular that I'm looking to relocate in my tank as it just doesn't seem to be happy where it's located and I'm trying to see how do I remove it from the super glue and epoxy? I'm a little nervous to break the base of the coral as the base is directly stuck into the epoxy and the epoxy had super glue on both the coral receiving end and the end of the rock. The Coral question is a frog spawn but this would be good information to have in general.

any input would be greatly appreciated as I would like to hopefully move this coral this evening.

You should easily be able to break it off, euphillia have pretty though skeletons in general. Just make sure its closed up a bit and pop off. If you want to get it off the plug you can use bone cutters on the plug and it should crumble off
