Good morning everyone :) so I am new to corals but have a little experience removing corals from plugs with glue on them. I have this encrusting coral with a single zoa head on the side. How can I safely remove the Zoa and refrag it so that I don't damage it or the psammocora that's starting to encrust over it? Thank you for your help.

A zoa frag can be removed simply by using a razor. Just go along the frag plug. The glue is brittle and it should just break it off.
1) use glasses.
2) use rubber gloves if you can.
3)don't cut yourself.
