I just break it off with my hands. I've done it for alot for fellow reefers. The thicker peices I use sidecutters. By the description are you sure it's not a hammer coral?

It's a frog, I haven't seen another like it in any lfs, it has multiple nubs on each tentacle.

I'm trying to add a pic but on iPad and it sucks. There's a photo of the frog in my thread New Stuff.

yes people this is a WALL frogie......not a branching frogie......a little different beast to frag then just side cutters.....doing "tearing" or "crushing" damage to the tissue can open the it up to infection(hence the coral dip after fragging) and a large percentage of improperly fragged LPS melt away....this is not an everyday coral and I dont think she wants to go at it with a slam to the floor or side cutters

........or " a pair of pliers and a blowtorch"
