A razor/scissors would work.. its just hard to attach them. Xenia love to grow up and attach to higher things.. so I just put new plugs by them.. they'll reach out... grow on it.. and seperate from the mother colony and attach to what you want.
Another trick after cutting.. use veil material (like wedding veil) to put over it until it attaches to a rock/plug. When you cut it, they will shrivel and be a little blob -- which makes them tough to work with then.

Things do have a way of working themselves out don't they
Future reference, you had a great cut line picked out. And for Xenia, I would take a toothpick and stick it thru the base of the piece you cut off, about 1/2 inch from the bottom. Stick it all the way thru so it extends out both sides. Then rubberband the toothpick to a frag rock. Once the frag has taken hold, you can remove the toothpic.

works on just about any hard to attach coral. I actually just used it to glue to bottom of some frag disks that my underwater epoxy was not grabbing. grabbed the CC no problem!

I cut my xenia with clean scissors

I tried cutting a small piece of the xenia off, containing one polyp and a bit of flesh, then I super glued them to a piece of rubble! They did fine, and it didn't burn the flesh at all!
