Can I frag this coral?

[the_bandit]

I have a large (biscuit sized) toadstool coral that has always been a sand dweller. It had a rock attatched to it when I first got it so I decided to just keep it on the rock. Now I moved my rock around and the current position of it is getting sand blown on it all the time. This has caused it to stop opening up.
The coral has grown through a crack in the rock and is starting to grow on the other side. Can I cut it off the rock without killing it and how do I attatch it to the new larger rock? I will link a picture.
Also, what tools do I need to use and what do I do with it once it has been cut off the rock?
Thanks.

Are you trying to take it off the current rock its on and put it on another?
If so I would cut where you suggested with a razor blade and use a couple rubber bands and band it to the rock you want it on. Might take a couple weeks to attach to the new rock.

Yes I would like to take it off its frag rock and put it on a new football size rock. The new big rock is very smooth so I was thinking I could make a very flat cut and super glue it on. I dont know how I would rubber band it on. But I think the super glue would get into the lether and possibly kill it.
This is the rock. Sorry for the blurry pic but you get the idea.

super glue wont kill your coral. but your not going to have good results doing it this way either the toadstool is just going to slime up and jump off the glue. best way to do it is the rubber band.

Or a pc. of net, veil material wrapped around the coral and the rock. You would then rubberband the veil or even just tuck it into the surrounding rock to keep it in place.

Well I didnt even have to cut the coral. The rock was donut shaped so I just pushed the coral out of the rock. Its on a new rock and is already opening up. Thanks for the help and advice.
