After reading the tools and precaution article proceed with the instructions below.

With a razor blade or sharp scissors cut the coral near the ending point of a branch. Leave a small portion of the branch for a quicker healing time and regrowth of the mother colony. Never cut too much from the stalk at a given time as it will greatly decrease the chance in survival of the main colony after fragmenting. Next, place the coral on its new base with thread. This is less of an irritant than reef or super glue. Position the fragment in a low current area in the tank until it is completely secure. Remove the the thread once it is fully attached.
