Well after getting over my initial nervousness, I must say it was pretty easy.
Took less then a minute and besides the coral sliming up from being out of the water it showed no ill effects.

So did you use a saw type blade disc or how fast did you have the rpm going?

I used a reinforced cut off wheel on max speed (35,000 RPM)

All it needed was a slight bit of pressure, and it sliced through with no problems.

From what i hear a lot of guys use the diamond edged wheel,

but its circumference is smaller then the one i used. I whould have had to cut all the way around the branch and try to meet in the middle. With the blade i used i was able to cut all the way through from one side.
