Yep the toothpick method works good. If they keeping tearing out of the toothpick the bridal veil method works well too. As far as the actual fragging just cut them up any old way you like. Cutting the whole head off is fine the original stalk will sprout back too.

You cover the xenia and the rock with a fine mesh cloth until the frag sticks to the rock.

Default xenia

use a knife and try to peel off the stalks off the rocks. If done slowly, can usually get the whole root off. Use an elastic band and tie it rather loosely to a disc or rock frag. Don't tie too tight, as being a soft coral, the rubber band can actually cut it in two. After a couple of days, it's root should have attached to the rock.
