I've got a dremel tool, but all I have are sanding discs and drilling tips. What kind of disc would be the most usefull cutting through live rock. It's a small piece, no more than an inch thick.

Thank you much,

Jeremy

Had a similar situation awhile ago and just took the LR out and put it in a zip-lock bag with a little tank water in the bag and took a hammer and hit it with one good hit...and...walla!!! it broke completeley in half with little to no rubble leftover.

Good luck

There happens to be a Sun Coral attached to it. Any other time, but the hammer might be over kill at the moment.

one that was made for cutting tile or grout would probably work

Can you post a picture of the rock you can maybe use your dremel to kind of score the rock were you want it cut and then use a hammer and chisel you will have to get a cutting disk for the dremel though? Good luck

A dremel with a tile cutting bit is you best bet. Those stupid discs break if you look at them funny......

Personally I'd use a hammer and chisel.
