Here I go. This is what I am using and the first coral to get cleaned up. I hope I don't kill it

 

[BanZI29]

First one done. So far so good I hope. And the cluster cleaned up a bit

Wow the original frag plug!

 

[BanZI29]

ok question, these are utter chaos and cats eye zoas, when I cut thrn, all the way to the base where it is attached to the rock, they "deflate" and water drains outta them. is that normal or am I killing them?

You should be taking a tiny piece of the substrate that the base is attached to, then glue that, otherwise they won’t attach.

Yea I was trying but this rock is hard.

So I am done and moved some corals around. I sadly was only able to salvage half of what I removed. But they are on plugs so I hope they will be ok by morning. Took my huge frog spawn and made it 3 different pieces to fill in the rock face. I hope that everyone will be ok.

If you do a lot, a dremmel can help.
Looks good.
