quik question on fragging torch, frogspawn, hammer coral. . .

[Chaotic Reefer4u]

would i just snap the branches off? :headwally:
Any and all help is appreciated.

You could but it would be better to use a set of large cutters. If you do break them know that the skeletons are fairly fragile/brittle and they can be easily crushed if you squeeze them too hard. I have seen people use scissors too but it looked a little risky to me.

^This assumes you are fragging a branching (not wall) euphyllia.

use a cutter (bone cutters work great!)
if you break them , it might not break where you want it to...

+1 or a small hacksaw if you are fragging in a spot that is too thick for bone cutters.

I would say bone cutters or a small hacksaw. And cut well below the flesh.

Agreed with all recommendations. I frag my frogspawn about every year and a half and rely on the small hacksaw at Home Depot (maybe 8" blade I guess) that works the best.

Diamond blade bandsaw makes a super clean cut every time. Wall or branching. If it's less than 3" thick the saw goes through it like butter. Rock too, though not quite as buttery.

What about a diamond blade dremel?

 

[sucker_fish]

yep dremels work too..usually use the dremel to frag pieces that are on the outside, bone cutters are better for getting in the tighter spots like if your trying to cut a branch off thats in between a couple other branches.
