and had an accident with the super glue that might have killed them all

That sux.

Were you using gel?

no. hence the problem. It would have been fine if the frag plug hadn't flipped over.

Im confused, but also fragged zoas today.

oh well. it was only 4 small AOG polyps. good thing they grow like weeds in my tank.

don't toss 'em yet D

I had some I thought for sure were toast from the gel - and they recovered.

sorry Kray - I put the polyps on the plug in the glue and knocked the plug over, smearing glue all over everything.

nah, they're in the tank richie. we'll see.

lol,you should come by and i'll show you fragging101!

I need a lesson from the master! I felt like such an idiot. It was like, "I'm doing it! I'm doing it!....*** ***** * ******* ***** * *************!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

good thing about zoanthids and superglue gel is that the coral will slime up and you can slide the hardened glue right off well thats my experience anyway!

You should go D!!

maybe you get to take home your work like those build it yourself things at Home Depot and Lowes

purple hornets!!

I did that with some radioactive dragon eyes, but i used gel and took a scaple and peeled it off them. Some still have it but oh well. lol

this is a good idea you guys have. I'll try it. but maybe tomorrow.

Nice going!!! WOOT!!!

I didn't want to say anything ... but I fragged you a Purple Hornet ... and well glued the thing shut ... sorry

lol. aw crap.

yeah same thing here. i forgot what type of zoas i bought them they were on a cheap frag so i cut them off put gel on the frag and when i was about to put the zoas on the plug they flipped and pretty much glued them on upside down i was like ******** there goes $30. so then i just flipped them over and reglued it. after that they do slim like crazy and i just pulled the hard glue off of like 6 zoas and 3 hours later looked great.

I accidentally used a super glue that was cyanoacrylate (sp?) but not gel. It almost completely covered a frag of 3 polpys of tubb blues. I put them in the tank anyway. In a few days they had sloughed off the "glue shell" and are now reproducing nicely. Hopefully yours will be as resilient.

Yeah, I know one polyp is ok, for sure. I'll see how the rest are doing when I get home.

A couple polyps looks like the were alright yesterday. I pulled off some dried glue and hopefully freed up the other polyps to open. We'll see.

oh yeah, they're all alive

PIcs?

Probably not until next week on the pics - we're moving over the next few days so I won't have much time.

i bet u that after u move the zoas will die and u wont get pics of them wen their alive.

that is probably true.
