andy Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I haven't had much success gluing softies, they slime up and leave the glue behind. Using a rubber band to hold them onto a frag plug until they grow themselves onto it has worked well for me. Some people "sew" them down with needle and monofilament. For zoas, I've had luck dropping a few polyps into a tupperware full of crushed coral (in the tank, of course). Once the polyps anchor to a piece of the crushed coral, they can be removed and the piece(s) of crushed coral can be glued down to a frag plug.

andy Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I wouldn't say it was a bad idea, it just might not work. Or, it might work fine Keep an eye on the frags, if the polyps come loose you might never see them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I just read that Loctite gel works well and just tried it tonight... I'll let you know how that turns out. That being said, tonight was also my first time fragging!! Just zoas, but still exciting for the first time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markdadof2 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Grassi, Be careful fragging those zoanthids. I highly advise the use of gloves and eye protection as they are highly toxic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Oh yeah, I did my research... actually I found http://www.zoaid.com/articles003.php to be really helpful. I can't believe the people who think they're good enough to do without.. I'm way to paranoid! But I looked like someone on CSI with the gloves, mouth mask, and work goggles lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
