My most successful method with Colts is to stick the cut off "arm" into a hole in some LR or in a giant barnacle and then leave them in a lower flow area. Within a week or two, it should fasten itself. The toothpick method never worked for me. Just seemed to cut through them.

Thanks everybody for your replies. I'm not really to concerned with getting the frag's to attach themselves to anything, I'm more concerned with the actual trimming of corals and keeping the host coral alive.
Any more techniques people have on trimming corals would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
wader

A PVC coupler works well, just put the rock you want the frag to attach to at the bottom and put the coupler over it and the colt inside (low flow of course). Don't worry about the mother piece , I personally just use some sharp scissors and cut off what & where I want and never had a problem.
