rehren Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 well you can pluck off the individual polyps, you can use a flat razor to "scrape" them from below and pull up a couple at once. Link to comment
Yves Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I use a small chisel and scrape under the coraline and take the zoo's off in sheets or five or six at a time makes 'em easier to glue...locktite quickgel is a good cheap glue-Yves Link to comment
movingshadow Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 depending how many you get off the rock and whether they are loose or still attached to something, I use a hypodermic needle. punch it through the base and shove it into the rock, they attach pretty quick. good way to go when you can't/don't want to use glue (yeah, try attaching a blob of 30 zoos with no base substrate with glue or epoxy ) Link to comment
Korbin Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Make sure you use protection! Safety glasses and rubber gloves. Link to comment

Vincerama Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Wear rubber gloves when handling zoos, they are toxic. V Link to comment
