Nothing special about cutting. You can't glue because they get too slimy. When you cut them off, put them in a container full of rubble rock or crushedcoarl, let them attach to that then glue were you want.

Oh yeah don't forget to cover teh top of the container with a mesh like pantyhoes or bridal veil so that they can get fresh water to them and don't blow out.

You can cut them at the base with a razor. Alternatively you can cut out a small wedge of rock with a dremel.

I use a media bag, available in many sized and cut up for your specific use. I was never really able to find 'bridal veil'.
