Fraging a zoo
« on: May 17, 2006, 14:22:12 »
I have this nice zoo that has about 5 little polyps that are kinda hanging off in the current.  I have not felt them to see what exactly is under them (a small piece of rock)  Anyway, since they are just hanging on, how do I move them to a new spot so they can grow?  As I said, my biggest question revolves around the fact that I am not sure there is a piece of rock under them or not, I suspect not.

there is probabally a little sand on them. if so, just rip them off and super glue them to a rock. if not, throw them in a cranny of a rock or in a low flow area on your sandbed. should attach in a couple weeks.

What illnino said, but I'd use a razor to cut them away so you don't hurt and of the polyps.

What type of super glue would you suggest for something like this?  I have frags that I'd also like to attach, and the std super glue gel didn't work for me.

It worked fine for me.  I moved them last night and they are fine this morning.  Super Glue Gel is what Scott recommended to me and I have used several times.  Dries under water.
