Glue corals?

[f.a.q.]

Im to to nano-reefing and I've seen some talk about gluing to corals, do you actually do that? And what does frags mean?

Thanks!

Yes, some frags can be glued to the rock you wish. I use super glue gel and with the ones that cannot be glued (mushrooms, xenia, slime ones) I use bridal veil and loosely rubberband them at the bottom or place the rock I want them on next to them. It all depends on how much time you have and how you want to do it. If you do a search, you will find many ways, types and corals that are fragged.

 

To me, a frag is 1-5 polyps or a 1-2" piece or smaller (depending on type) coral.

If you have a little piece of rock to the coral, you can use some plumbers epoxy to attach it to some rock in your tank. Within a short period of time it will harden completely and become permanent. I have anchored rock together with this method, as well as attaching some corals to the rock.

Thanks for the help!
