Can anyone relate?

Putty and super glue. Take the plug out, put glue on the bottom of the frag and stuck it on the putty then put glue on the other side of the putty so you can stick it on the rockwork.

Thanks Frank!

Am I the only one thinking that the Acro is places way too close to that other frag on the right?

Within a few month the 2 of them will be killing each other.

I'm watching that Lethal Lepto. It's growing away from the direction of the frag placement the last few months(it doesn't seem to like growing towards the higher flow). However, good point and at some point could be an issue.

Dry end of frag,put a small bubble if super glue,,place in water 5-10seconds to form skin,,put another bubble of super glue ,,place on rock and burst first bubble
Lift 2 or 3 times, you will see glue stretch, hold down a few seconds,,done, learned this method from Roger of Roger's reef food awhile back.works great,,frag is close to the rock so it encrusted easier

Gel <-> Putty <-> Gel for me too. Hold for a little bit and this can secure even the largest colonies.

Sometimes you have to wait a bit for the putty to start to cure where it is pliable, but harder to manipulate.

Lol.....it will all grow in and look fine. I actually use some coral putty and glue that to the bottom of the frag first. Then glue that to the rock........you can smash it in however you like.

Thanks! This time I put aside my IC gel and my Seachem glue and tried just plain old super glue gel. Bam! First time worked like a charm on this rather tipsy Digi frag I accidentally broke last night. For this purpose the super glue gel worked much faster then other glues made for reefing that I’ve been using.
