The finger and toadstool leathers you can just chop up with a razor blade. You can then attach them to a rock by sticking a toothpick through it and loosly attaching the toothpick sticking out both sides with rubber bands to a rock. There are other ways of attaching them as well but I won't get into all of them. Things like bubble and hammer corals that are not the branching variety, I am actually not sure how to do. If the are the branching type, then you just break the skeleton where it branches and there is no living tissue.

I use sizzors to frag my leathers because I'm lazy, also because I'm lazy I just rubberband the frag to a rock, before the rubber band gets the chance to rot off the frag is very well attached.
The hammer and bubble can be fragged too, there just tougher.

Here is my thread on a bubble fraggin'
closed brain fraggin'
blasto fraggin'
Leathers are easy as well, just snip snip!
I may have some more as well. It is scary the first time, but after that you can go nuts!
