going to give it a try

hey i was thinking of fraging a colt coral and a pom pom zania, wondering what is the best way to do this. and how to hold them on to the rocks.

The colt is easy. Just take a scalpel, sharp knife or scissors and cut away. The harder part is getting it to attach. I have done it with a needle and thread, pinching it between two rocks with a loose rubberband. Putting it in the frag tank with some rubble and just pry it off of the glass when it lands there until it grows onto a rock. I've never been able to get glue to hold. They just shrink up and slime.
I have heard that xenia are pretty much the same except you want to try to pry up the mat and attach that. Neither smell very good but the xenia can be really really bad.
