Christmas tree worm extraction

[Ibn]

Let's preface with the fact that Christmas tree worms are some of the coolest around, but most colonies do not have a high count. Couple that with the fact that my tank is ultra small and you can kind of get an idea of what I'm trying to do.

I'm interested in extracting worms from the colonies by dremeling the area around them and maybe use a chisel to make a clean cut all the way through (most colonies are pretty thick). The SPS that they're associated with will then be pieced back together with the worms to form a smaller tighter colony and the other pieces of it which are leftover will be donated to others.

Now to the questions:
1) Has anyone tried this?
2) Feasible or not?
3) How deep are the holes used by Christmas tree worms?

That's intereseting, cutting the area around the worm, then gluing him like a frag onto a rock would be awesome =) Or glueing them all together into one big bundle =)

This is a pretty cool idea.
