Well, not being an expert... When I've done it, I've used some wire cutters, and ONLY cut the stony part of the branch. If there's "flesh", I don't cut it. Not sure what others say, but so far, I haven't lost one doing that.

Cut the stony part as far away from the soft flesh as you can. Use 1" PVC cuters. PVC cutters are somthing like $15 in the plumbing part of home depot and a must have tool for most reef keepers.

if your afraid to just snip it with the cutters, what ive done before is use a small hacksaw (saw with small teeth) and cut through the stoney part as said above. much cleaner cut i think

The branching type is fragile enough to simply bust off a chunk with your hands. Thats what I do.
