Is it possible to frag green palys in that tank???

Ok guys, I have this grouping of green palys, and they are spreading like weeds!….but the issue is, they are encrusted on a rock at the bottom of my tank that I can’t move. How can I safely frag them, without bothering the other tank inhabitants, or putting me in the ER?

I “trim” back by using F-Aptasia.
In a week, I break off the encasement using rubber gloves.

Can’t of course make a frag, but keeps them back.

I’m not looking to kill them…more like, relocate half of them.

Sorry, you have to chip off a piece of the rock to do that. Not easy underwater in a glass box.

Ok, I see…I’ll look at getting the rock out to frag them…

That would be perfect.
Glasses, gloves, Dremel tool works great as well.
Glue to a plug….instant paly frag.

How do I frag them so it doesn’t become an aerosol?

I’ve not experienced any air borne. One did squirt me. Maybe I should wear a mask as well as goggles and latex gloves.

I chip just below the substrate. Then I put them back in the tank until finished.

Then gorilla glue them down.
