Help ID and frag advice

Hey everyone, I recieved this coral from Reefermadness about a year ago. It probably quadrupled in size in that amount of time under VHO's and I want to try and frag it. I'm not real sure what it is though. I think it might be a favia. The pic isn't real good but it is light purple in the center, more maroon around the light purple then the edge of each polyp is bright green . Anyways I'm looking for ideas on how to frag it. As it's grown all the new growth has attached to the rock it is on.

Sorry the pic is bad I'm still working on the camera thing!

Best guess ould be a favia, from the pic. Cutting the rock under it should make it break off in a couple sections, creating frags. Good luck.

could also use dremel with a dimond blade on it. Wear goggles though!

If you really want to have fun you could use a tile wet saw.
