I found the eggs were invisible untill the coral air dried for a couple of minutes. IMO removing the eggs is the most important, and difficult part of the process.

Really? I could see the egg sacs right away, soon as I turned the colony over. Under the scope, I could see they had all hatched. Maybe it's harder to see unhatched?

When I was scraping the eggs off, I'd go back to a place I'd previosly looked to find eggs had appeared. They are also laid in the most inaccessible of places at times. Your plan to start over with small pieces of the originals will definitely make the job easier.

Absolutely. There will be no hidden eggs anywhere. Fresh cut frags, dipped and inspected, moved to new tank. Only problem is running 2 tanks in one spot for long enough to get it all done.
