A little background.
So I have way too many corals and not enough space. Sometimes it is hard to glue certain pieces to the rock, here is the solution I came up with. Hope this also helps some of you.
For this you will need, some ridged tubing 3/16" and 5/16 in diameter, superglue, and some frag plus or smaller rocks.
Cut off about 1 1/2"-2" piece of the thinner 3/16" tubing the longer the better this can be adjusted later
Use superglue to glue the thinner tubing to a piece of rock or a frag plug.
You will then need to cut off about a 3/4" piece of the larger tubing.
You can heat up this tubing and slightly flatten it with the pliers to make it even easier to glue to the rock.
Glue this piece of tubing to the side of the the live rock
The small size makes it much easier to glue than the frag plug with a piece of coral on it.
Next, glue the coral to the newly made frag plug and put it in its spot.
This allows you to easily remove the corals from the rock-work if needed.
Adjust the size of the smaller tubing as needed so it doesn't show at the bottom.
Enjoy.
