Basically you'd be cutting away a hunk of coral probably trying to ensure 1-3 polyps remain.
Most LPS are fragged the same way one would frag dishes... There's a video kicking around from a session at imac/macna/similar - of one of the former RC experts demoing fragging a big acan lordhowensis colony - with nothing more than a hammer.
As much as some people like to complicate things, it is nothing more than breaking pieces off. As hard as some people make it - think of nature, big storm blows through, surf pounds the reef, rock /coral /outcropping falls - new colonies are created - unless settled into a unfavorable environment. As we control the environment they 'land' into - it's just a matter of mechanically separating the corals.
There are very few corals that are much beyond cut / break piece off. Those are ones that aren't generally thought of as 'fraggable' to begin with (anemones come to mind - even though even those have been proven to be quite simple to frag)
