use a dremel cutting disk to cut through the skeleton at the next intersection down from the head provided it is more than 1 1/2" away from living tissue of the head, as the polyps can receed far into the base skeleton.

you can also use those hand cutters for small branches and stuff. Im not exactly sure what they are called but they work good.

I use bone cutters, they snap pretty easy, sometimes too easy and you end up with way more frags than you wanted.

I ususally just snap them by hand, buy doc asked for the best way, I feel the dremel cut reduces the risk of splintering that can be ascociated with hand snapping or pressure cuts (snips).

Yeah, they started from about 6 polyps. They seem to love the enviroment I have created for them. Hopefully in about six months I will show you how big your have gotten.
