Need help with fraging a frag...

Hello I've been burned with dino's 2 times now, which ended up leading to me tearing down those 2 tanks right when they were starting to take off because u couldn't beat the dino's. So now I'm going to do a coral/invert quarantine process.
Long story short any new coral I get, i want to put it in a new frag plug and then quarantine it. I'm going to be getting a weeping willow coral from liveaquaria. It was pretty easy to put my torch and frogspawn on new frag plugs but I haven't done a leather before...so do I just cut at the part of its stock closest to the frag plug and then loosely rubber band it to a new frag plug?

Thanks for your help in advance guys!

Yeah, just cut the coral as close to the base as you can and secure it to the plug with a rubber band or some super glue gel. Personally I would try the super glue gel first. This way you can mount the coral vertically as opposed to horizontally. If it holds cool, if not try the rubber band. GL.
