Tell me if it looks like I did anything wrong or any advice you have on fragging chalices
 
I ended up putting it on a small frag plug because i figured the disk was to big for just 1 eye
 
Kraylen,

I actually watched all of your fragging videos! They are great! I dint know you could frag plate corals and scolys....i was going to use the razr blade method but it was literally 3mm thick, the chalice is just the chalice and 1 pebble of rock it is all attached to, and i didnt want it to shatter or smtn...my luck...

Bay Reefer,
I didnt think of that, but after the frag gets acclimated and heals over ill cut the bottom off
 
No shattering at all... you are not striking the chalice with the razor blade, you are simply using a small shock of force to push the blade though ;) Cleaner than a band saw :p
 
Ok well i have a about 4in. by 2in. blue chalice, that i plan on using all the frag methods on i can on ,it has lots of eyes, i got it for, $20ish,im going to let it completly heal over 1st
