Resources on Fragging Euphyllia

[Techie_]

Title pretty much says it all, are there any good resources out there for fragging euphyllia, torches specifically? I've got a bunch given to me that are branches and sitting in a holding tank for at least a couple of months, some aren't doing too hot because of their orientation. I've got a handful of frag racks and I'd like to fill them out with some of the more isolated heads.

Its really comes down to your tooling, either a fragging bandsaw or a dremel with a diamond blade. You can either use just super glue or use putty and super glue together to place on discs or frag plugs

I fragged torches twice in the last week. I used a hacksaw

I have a dremel also for more tight cuts, but these were easy and open areas and a hacksaw worked fine.

Following. I have several colonies, some that are a dozen or so heads and starting to crowd. Especially interested in cases where flesh bands are so pronounced that any fragging would seem to involve cutting flesh. I hear to use iodine after cutting. But in general, like the OP. I’d really like to find some good resources on the topic. Spotty at best searches and I’ve never fragged beyond zoas

I would not cut through flesh band

Where is a safe place to cut? Do you have an example, maybe even a photo with a big red arrow or circle ;)

Came across this in my research but the bone cutters seem a little haphazard to me. Maybe instead of the multi-step cut + bandsaw you could get away with a dremel.

I came almost straight down in the middle of the Y

Then the exposed edge, i cauterized in gorilla super glue gel. The skeleton is porous with cavities and small tunnels, we don’t want bacteria or worms getting inside
