Need help with an overgrown frag

[Girthrockwel]

i bought a nice looking green zoa frag at the lfs a couple of weeks ago. They had the frag on egg crate that was at a steep angle for display purposes in the tank. I guess that cause polyps to grow under the edges of the disk. The plug is pretty much covered top and bottom with polyps. How can I salvage the polyps from the underside? Just cut the mat and peel them off?

I have some palys that have majorly overgrown one of my frag racks, underneath too. I haven't taken them off yet because there are a bunch of other frags on the rack that have no where to go, and also I've never fragged a zoa or paly before and I'm nervous to try.

Someone else with advice please chime in.

Put on some gloves and eye glasses if you have them. Cut the matt and peel.

And if you don't have the eye glasses, get them
