Getting chalice off glass

[enchelycore808]

Anyone know a good way to get a chalice off of glass? Long story short, picked up hollywood stunner, placed on barebottom to light acclimate, procrastination took over. Now it's grown about an 1.5" or so on to bottom and I have to move it. I don't really care if I break it up as I can use the frags but any pro tips would be helpful. Thanks again!

Box cutter refills work well to get under encrusting corals.. Basically a razor blade and go to town.. Sometimes you can get lucky and get under a part of them and if you go slow you can pop up large chunks of it..I don't think you will get it off in one piece though.

I'd try a razor blade

Razor blade for sure. But you're not going to have much to frag...

Thanks for the suggestions. Alright ended up tying to razor it off the glass. Couldn't get the razor under so I ended up cutting the chalice around the rock, taking the rock out and just chipping off the parts attached to the glass. Wasn't fun and I learned my lesson lol! The main colony looks good so far. Dipped it in iodine and put it on some eggcrate.

Did any of the stuff stuck to the glass survive? Or did it all mush up?

Anything touching the glass was basically pulverized. Only the central raised portion survived so looks like I'll be starting from scratch.
