So after reading , looking at Eric's (Ibn) post and Kraylen's saw technique I'm thinking about sawing up my 6" purple plate. Just need a couple questions answered before I take the plunge.
- Cut the guy into squares? Is the mouth needed? Looking at the Reefkeeping article I would guess no. I'm gonna try to cut it up into 9 pieces
- Do I need to glue this guy onto frag plugs or can I put it in the frag rack and let it heal? I take it I should not put it on the sand or any high flow areas?
- Revive dip and baste ok after cutting?
- Would anybody be interested in any healed plates?
- Any more advice before I cut him up would be greatly appreciated.

It's a short tentacle. You have a link to a reference with photos I can compare?
