Moving my African Blue Cespitularia

[lj_smith]

I have a small frag of African Blue Cespitularia but it seems to of got lost in between my red sea white xenia which has taken over the same rock , knowing it's a fragile species i'm a bit apprehensive of trying to move it, does anyone know if it's safe to move and the best way to do this, i have a couple of pictures of the corals attached, thanks

my advice is to take a very sharp woodworker's chisel and skin the stalk off the rock by biting into the rock under the coral (not touching any living tissue). You can then pat that sliver of rock dry and superglue the Cespitularia in a better spont.

So it's fine to lift the corals clean out of the water to do this?

quite so... consider it low tide my friend
