what is the syringe for???? :-/
I use razor blades, diagonal pliers and $2 super glue
I tried using a razor blade/exacto knife and it only worked for some of my coral! I've lost a few acans that way.... Any pro tips to share? [emoji14]<br/>I use razor blades, diagonal pliers and $2 super glue
Did u attempt to cut acans with a blade? This skeleton is bone and will require something more suitable for cutting rock/boneI tried using a razor blade/exacto knife and it only worked for some of my coral! I've lost a few acans that way.... Any pro tips to share? [emoji14]<br/>

I did; right at the base. Wound up cracking it (of course) and it died. Newbie mistake.. Except now I'm terrified to frag anything or remove coral from plugs, so most of my coral are in the sand or balanced on the rocks with their plugs! Looks rotten :/Did u attempt to cut acans with a blade? This skeleton is bone and will require something more suitable for cutting rock/bone
Definitely going with softies! Should those be put in iodine or anything after they've been cut? I've seen mixed reviews. I've been interested in trying bone cutters but I'm terrified of damaging the base of a coral to the point where death is inevitable. Especially dremels - those seem particularly good at cleanup, but I've heard stories about pros even killing their coral with them. It all scares new haha [emoji15]Softies only
You could use a blade to cut the flesh, but the skeleton needs something like diagonal pliers, bone cutters etc.
