    im pretty sure you just cut it with a razor, and stick it to whatever you want, its fairly easy.

    Either let it drop babies off, or snip a finger at the base, then rubber band it to a rock, or wrap a piece of mesh around it and a piece of rock for 3 or 4 days.

    BTW, your is kind of creepy, some of the fingers look like real fingers with fingernails in that second picture. Just sayin'. :p

    you cant really go wrong with this as long as your water quality is good, i had a large leather that was about eight inches wide, i cut it off of the base and cut the mantle into ten different pieces and scattered them through the aquarium and they thrived, just the messier the cut the longer the healing time.

    if you can remove the coral from tank ,put it in a bowl of your tank water ,then put on some gloves cut no less than a inch off any where ,pat dry the fragg supper glue to a rock or fragg stone ,rince off the host coral of the sticky stuff that will come out ,then but the host back ,sucure the fragg in the tank on the bottem so it does no move around in about a weak or so it will be fine ,the host will replace the missing finger like it never happen ,hope this helps

    this is the best procedure, not everything is needed unless you have a certain way to do it, the only thing i have problems with is not cutting more than an inch. the stalk of my leather was 4 inches wide and it healed just as fast as a one inch cut. :-/
