Hi all,

I have a Leptoseris and Cyphastrea that has been growing well, too well. It’s encrusting along my rock. I would like to cut them back so they do not extent onto the adjacent coral like my Acan. I have been trying to find videos or any info on how to successfully cut them back and maybe forage the pieces I cut without hurting the rest of the colony. Only videos I find discuss using a bandsaw and cutting the rock it’s on.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
I would like to cut it and then safely remove that piece from the rock it’s encrusted on without removing the rock from the tank.

Thank you.
