:eh how do you fragg hard corals and take cuttings from soft one's ie. finger/colt corals ?

tools:
razor blades
wire cutters
coral puddy
super glue gel
mental fortitude

there is always a risk of killing the colony or cutting, but no pro's needed.
you should make sure your tank is healthy and the coral you are cutting is healthy ( like the idea of seeing some growth on the coral as a sign) and there should be no problem
