The skeleton of that type of coral is quite porous and prone to shattering when cut with clippers. Do you have a Dremel or wet tile saw? One of those or even a wet bandsaw would be ideal.

Sometimes I've been able to use zip ties to get coral to stay in place. That might work for you if their are any holes in the rock that you can feed one through.
