I’ve had an acan for a couple months and it’s done well, grew 4 new heads so far. It’s been on the sand bed since I got it. It got knocked upside down into the sand sometime last night and is very upset now...the flesh is all sucked in the skeleton.
It’s not on a frag plug, can I glue the skeleton directly to a rock? Everything I have is on plugs so I wasn’t sure if it was ok to glue this?
thanks!!

Absolutely! Do your best to keep adhesives away from the flesh, and to allow any babies to still receive light, flow, and not to be squished. The bottom looks like a good spot for glue. That'll pick back up in shape in no time!

Thanks @tsouth! I might have been able to answer my own question...is this an acan glued to a plug? The skeleton looks different so I didn’t think it was.
