first time fragger needs advice

[Farrmanchu]

It can stay out of the water for long enough to cut it, don't rush because it's out of the tank. What's more important is clean cuts, with a scalpel or razor. Cut off the parts that you want to cut, place them in a container with tank water, then place the original Coral back in the tank. Then you mount the frags with the stitch method, take your time.
