How do you remove a chalice from plug and attach it to rock?

Can't tell how encrusted it is in the picture but I usually just take a pocket knife and wedge it in between the coral and the plug usually pops right off

Is it safe to gel glue it to a rock after that?

gel glue is safe.

alternatively, you could also just cut off the stem of the plug and glue the disk to the rock.

how about rongeurs (bone cutters) they come in most fragging kits i think. or a large pair of wire cutters works just fine too.

goggles and make sure you count fingers afterwards!
