Worried about how many I may have harmed, saw a lot of slimy, brown ooze that I don't think should be on the outside of the zoos. How tough are these guys? If all goes well I may have some frags to trade in a few months.

Zookeeper Bob, what do you think of my methods? Heard you have a few kinds of zoos available. I would love to get some and check out what a few mature colonies look like, maybe get some tips as well.

Thanks for the advice from everyone. I am starting to see why there is so much interest in corals.
It sounds like what you did is fine. Zoos are quite tough. The only thing different I usually do is to use Loctite Gel to attach them, but that is only because I do quite a few at a time. I have done lots, but still find it a stressful experience.

I do have some zoos available. You would just have to coordinate with me as to when to come by.
