So, I'm planning to get a custom built Zoa Garden rock from a coral vendor. They're mixing and matching the zoas for me and glueing them all to a single flat rock. I may use it to create a new cave in my 4 year old mixed reef. To someday have the rock be covered in zoas and may be spread to a couple other rocks.
I have a Dragon Wrasse that will move any rock that weighs up to 3 lbs. I do not exaggerate here. He's crazy mean with rocks. Attacking them at times like they're prey and throwing them around in the water. I've intentionally left some coral skeletons, smaller rocks in the sand purposely for him to play with. Once in a while I'm mean and take his little collection and move them around the tank and rebury them in the sand... This does not make him happy!
Back to my question.. Can I use the super glue gel, epoxy putty sandwich method to glue a new rock to existing rocks? It works well for frag plugs, but will it withstand the force of a fish yanking on the rock to pull it off? He was able to remove a frag from its frag plug glued in this way. .
Any other suggestions for making sure the new Zoa rock doesn't get attacked and flipped over and destroy the pretty new zoas?
