Best way to fags zoanthids

[AquaReeferMan]

Hello everyone. I am new to fragging zoas so I have a few questions. I have 3 different colonies that I am fragging/trying to frag. I have been able to break some off but am unsure about removing some from a different rock and some that have overgrown their frag plug. From what I gathered before its not good to cut the polyp its better to try and dig if off correct? What is the easiest way to get them off. Below are some shots of the colonies if that would help with some advice on what to do. I am unsure about breaking some of the rocks due to the fact of ripping tissue. Any help?? TIA

This is the colony overgrowing the plug

This colony I was able to remove some that were growing on a sponge type thing

This is a colony growing on a finger of rock

Hammer and a chisel always work for me!

Those are some of the nicest yellows I have seen.

I usually search for a lose edge, get under it and just tear some off. Oh and as mentioned, nice zoas

On rocks that cant be pulled from the tank i use a forcep and pull them off, then i put them in a small acrylic box in the tank with some rubble and they all start to attach within a couple of days.

There is info at the top of this thread. I read that you are to take a sharp scapel and cut the mat around the number you wish to remove. Scrape the polyps along with the mat and preferably some of the rock from inder the frag. Then you can use super glue GEL to glue them to a new rock. Whenever I find a loose polyp in my tank I glue it to this one rock. Eventually I will have a rainbow rock that is super duper , unobtainable, rare and you guys will pay me MILLIONs for it ! LOL!
