has grown multiple babies. I would like to frag a couple polyps off. Would you just cut it between the polyps and peel it off the plug?

Yes, take a razor blade and cut through the mat and dip the open wound into iodine (all I am familiar with is Kent's Iodine so can't give any recommendations for any other brands) and let them sit for about 30 seconds out in the dry, reglue them to a mount or whatever and place them in the tank.
To remove them off the plug cut through it with some wire cutters/bone cutters but you can also wittle right beneath the polyps if the moutn is a soft substrate.
Looking good.

Thanks Mike. There are 7 babies on it so far.

Do you dip it in straight iodine or a mix? And are you referring to Kent's Lugols Iodine?

Just Kent's plain ol Iodine. Lugols is concentrated. I have no info nor have ever used it.
