Depends on the rock. Last time I fragged zoas I did a rock that was the size of a tennis ball and took my bone cutters to the bottom side. This caused the rock to split apart but still held together with the zoas. Next I took a scalpel and carefully cut the connecting mat between polyps where the rock was split. Trimmed the extra rock off on the bottom so I had small, tiny rocks with a few polyps on each. You could either glue the small rocks to a frag plug or just leave the way they are.
I have also taken a scalpel and cut the base of the polyp and glue that onto a new frag plug. Only been about a week since I tried it; so far they are still alive. Too early to tell if they will spread again and thrive or not. Usually I just split the rock up into smaller pieces and haven't had issues at all with that method.
