I heard that When fragging a nepthea coral release toxins. Will these toxins be enough to harm anything or will my skimmer take care of it.
 
Nope, don't worry about it. Fragging any coral will release toxins. But it's such a small amount that it won't matter unless it's in a small tank. When possible, frag corals outside the tank to avoid getting any in the water.
 
When they get big they pinch off branches on their own and make new frags. I was flushing several down the toilet every week. Ones I kept, I would take the frag and poke a hole through the base with a toothpick and run fishing line through it and tie it to a piece of rubble. In a week or two, cut the line and pull it through the frag. As for toxins, I wouldnt worry about it.
