Yea after reading the horror stories about fragging coral and seeing the toxins released when I started cutting freaked me out.

I decided to cut the original frag out leaving the over grown coral on the Rock.

Once I had the frag out and into a Tupperware container I cut off about 5 heads and glued them onto a frag plug.

Put the new frag and old frag back into the tank and dumped the water from the container.

Decided to do my water change while I was in there and ended up knocking off a piece of my thick branch birds nest coral.

So glued that piece onto a frag plug as well.

Lets see how these go before I try more.

Btw I was wearing rubber gloves during this.

I think next time I might go with bone cutters instead of an exacto blade.
 
I like a narrow exacto blade or single sided razor blade depending on what I'm cutting. I also wear goggles or my glasses when I frag. It sounds like you did fine for your first time. Congrats!
 
Ya i use different tools depending on what im fragging for sps i like the snips for zs n ps i like using the exacto really nice for getting under the polyps.

Yea the exacto was nice to get under the polyps. I was just trying to do it without holding the frag bc I was afraid with it releasing toxins even with gloves on lol

I saw fratos use bone cutters to just cut off a piece of rock and it just seemed so much easier lol.
