Detaching ric's from rock??

[asharp13]

i have a base rock that is immoveable at this point and it has a couple ricordeas on it. how can i cut these off the rock and place them elsewhere in the tank?
do i just cut the part that is attached? how exact do i need to be? to reattach, should i put them in a cup with rubble and let them attach to piece in there? do i need super glue?
any advice would help i am planning on doing this within the next couple of days
thx in advance!!

Yes, just cut it off as close to the rock as possible. Don't use superglue and use the cup like you mentioned to get them reattached.

Reef rock is pretty soft. If you have some nice porous reef rock get a xacto knife and try to cut the rock where it is attached. The you can superglue the rock pc. with the ric attached anywhere your want to.
If this is not possible cut the ric's base as close to the rock as possible. You will probably get a new one from some of the flesh that will be left over on the rock.
