Not sure about a diagram but here is how it was explained to me: If you can take the toad stool out and set it down on it's top (basically like it was upside down). Then take a sharp knife and cut around the perimeter of the top of the coral; how far in you cut depends on the size of the coral but an inch or so would give you some good sizes to work with later. After you make your cut return the toad stool to the tank. Then take the donut shape that you cut from the mother coral and start cutting it in to smaller "squares" of coral. Once you have all of these cut you can try and mount them to frag plugs or rubble. Hope that makes sense.
