Help with Galaxia coral

[Reefbound]

I have a Galaxia coral that is very healthy and very large thats sitting on the side of a 20lb peice of rock in the middle of our tank. Is there a way to frag this coral in the waterwhere it is? This coral has been on this rock since the beginning and is firmly attached and I can't move it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I think it would be challenging.

The way I frag them is to irritate the polyps underwater until they pull into the skeleton. Then I score where I want the cut to be with a diamond bit on a Dremel. Then I use a cold chisel and a hammer to split where I scored it.

I have a very large one, and everytime I touch it the thing frags it self. The small polyps seem to just flake off and then next thing you know you have Galaxia's growing every where. With out taking it out of the water though, I think that it will be kind of hard to take the whole colony off.

Good luck
