Cutting a pagoda.

hey everyone. i have a fairly large pagoda cup coral and would like to make a frag or 2 of it.

now, i have something similiar to a skill saw, this thing will take a finger off in worse case scenario. it has a tiny blade and works like a skill saw or like a h and powerd hack saw. it is powered via compressor..
is there such a thing that while cutting it the tool your using is to powerful and destroy the flesh and result in the flesh of the coral continously dying off?
i havent fragged much but lps other than frogspawn. i can do zoas sps and softies but havent played with this yet.

any advice or ideas?
thanks everyone!

Wouldn't think it would be much different than a Dremel. What you son't want to do is heat up the coral too much. Have a container of tank water nearby so you can dip the coral in to cool it off.

thanks spanko. now, do i stop in the middle of the cut just to make sure it stays cool and dip it? or just cut it quick and dip it? i love this pagoda. it is one of the greenest i have seen i couldnt afford to lose it!
