I have a couple soft corals I will need to frag b/c they are starting to grow too close to my other corals.
I will need to frag some green polyps(the green grass) and some xenia? How can I go about this without removing them from the tank? My problem is that they have attached to rocks which I cannot remove.
Thanks for any tips!

Just pull the xenia off the rock. Try to pull very slowly because any tissue left on the rock will regrow new xenia. Then use a rubber band to attach it where you want it. The green star polyps need to be chipped or broken off the rock

I agree, but you might also want to scrub the rock a little where they were attached. I always get stuff growing back:mad2:
