How do u move ricordia?
 
I have some pink/purple & blue purple but they are all crowded together. They have been dividing, but how do I get them off the rock????

What I do is take the coral out of the tnak and us e a razor blade and cut them off from the bottom. works great they will spit out some white stuff. but that is normal after you cut them...

you can cut them off the rock. but unless you remove all of the tissue, a new one will grow.

You can use hemostats and grab the um trunk/foot thing and gently roll it to one side. You should be able to remove the whole thing if you don't want them to grow back on the rock. IF you do want them to grow back then you can just cut them off under the cap as was said, let the cap settle on some coarse gravel for a few days then you can pick it up again and glue the new foot onto a bit of rubble, it's a good way to get more. If you do want to grow even more, once they are growing back nicely, you can cut them in half with a razor blade where they are, they will divide and reform in a few weeks.
