This is waht i do too but i fill shooter glasses with half rubble and place frags in it. The glass you can see thru it and monitor its status. Also if its flipped upside down you can see it and fix it.

As long as you have a bit of mouth on all the pieces they will curl back around and turn into little rics in a couple days. Shouldn't take more than a week or so and you won't be able to tell they were cut. When done put them in a piece of pipe with the bottom sealed with plastic window screen and some sort of rubble or oyster shell in the bottom. Put this is a very low flow area of the tank. Maybe cover the top of the pipe with bridal veil or window screen to keep the little rics from ending up all over the tank. I haven't lost any doing it this way.
Good luck. Anymore questions just ask.
