Instructions for Use and Maintenance

Ensure the cutters are clean before use. Position the blades around the coral branch to be fragged and apply firm pressure to make a clean cut. For thicker branches, twist the cutters slightly during the cut for a cleaner result. After each use, rinse thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt residue. Dry completely with a soft cloth to prevent corrosion. Store in a dry place, away from humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Large Coral Cutters cut thick Acropora branches?

Yes. The large 7-inch size and surgical steel blades are designed to cut SPS branches including Acropora, Montipora, Pocillopora, and Stylophora. For very thick branches (more than 10 mm in diameter), a band saw may be more appropriate for a cleaner cut.

Do stainless steel cutters rust with saltwater?

Surgical stainless steel is very corrosion-resistant, but it is not immune. Always rinse the cutters with fresh water immediately after each use and dry them completely. Store them dry. With this minimal maintenance, the cutters will last for years without rust.

Can I use these cutters for soft corals and LPS?

The Large Coral Cutters are primarily designed for hard corals (SPS). For soft corals like zoanthids and mushrooms, a scalpel or fragging scissors are more suitable as the cutters could crush the soft tissue instead of cutting it cleanly. For LPS with hard skeletons like hammers and torches, the cutters work well for separating branches.
