On the zoos, some people prefer chiseling off a bit of the rock under the zoos. They don't really like to be glued to anything, so if you can carve out a pebble and glue the pebble to a new rock, they will probably do better.
On the colt coral, you can use scissors to snip off a branch. It's like pruning shrubs.

zoos:
hmm they might just stay where they are then. i don't want them squirting at me.
colt: sweeeet i'm gunna get a couple frags going then. do i just superglue the bottom to some rubble?
how about a orange monticap? do i just snip a section of it out and mount it with super glue?

Wave your hand vigourously at the frog spawn and it will retract back into the skeleton. (Note - your hand should be INSIDE the tank when you do this. Otherwise, the coral will simply think that you're being extra friendly.) Unlike Shooter, I'm a manly-man and have in the past simply broken the skeleton at a branch with my bare hands.

hmmph...in the interest of the coral's health, to assure I get a clean frag with no splintering or fractures up into the head of the frogspawn, I have employed the methods I described earlier rather than applying my coral shattering freakish strength to it.
Of course, given Steve's history with tools like his nail gun, he'd probably do himself a favor staying away from them for fragging.

Fraggin the colt will be easy... getting it to stick to anything, and I mean anything, is a challenge. I've tried tooth picks, nylon ties, you name it and the only thing that worked was the colt slithering off and wondering around the tank in the current. Try some veil (think wedding dress) or something with lots of holes for flow that you can secure to a piece of rock and wait for it to attach.
However, the best method is to place some rubble close the colt and wait for it branch out and to attach, then prune as desired. This method is also best for zoo's IMO. It requires no glueing and the trauma to the corals are minimal, though it does take time.
