I never got a chance to thank Anthony for the Tile Saw tip. I picked one up at Harbor Freight for 39.99. It looks a lot like the one from Lowes that Anthony linked.

Here was a frag session with an OC Acan.

Starting frag

Reenactment of cutting with the tile saw.

Resulting cut. I didn't run the blade through the flesh, just the skeleton.

Cracking the cut open with a screwdriver

Slicing the attached flesh with a razor blade.

Finished product

I have a small acan colony with one polyp that is basically hanging off the rock. Can I slice this one off and glue to a new piece of rock?

How well will an acan polyp tolerate glue directly to the flesh? I've had no problems with riocordia or zooanthid polyps using this method.

if there is no skeleton it will most likely die
