Cyphastrea on the back glass?

This is all it is at the moment, got a long way to go! Ha!
I'll try and get it on the glass tomorrow.

Well, I've tried numerous times to glue the cyphastrea frag onto the back glass with no success. Longest it has stayed attached is three days.
I've tried with clean glass and 'dirty' glass. No Coraline on the glass yet.
I'm giving it a rest for a bit as the cyphastrea has been taking a bit of a beating since whenever it falls off its in the middle of the night and always ends up face down! Ha!
Would gluing the frag to some epoxy and then attaching the epoxy to the glass work?! Does epoxy stick to glass?

I've heard of these magnetic frag plugs but my tank is an AIO so both magnets would be under water, don't know if the "outside" magnet is rated for underwater use

anyway, I'll figure something out after it recovers from the abuse!

They're normally fast growers so shouldn't be difficult.

Growing mines in the back glass too.

Looks awesome! How long has it been on the glass?

Here is a better pic with my new IceCap lens. Colors are exactly what they look like in person.

The orange on the wall 1 year.
The pink branching was put in 2 months after the tank got wet in October 2019, so almost 2 years.
Here is a pic of it.

Hmmm i couldnt get glue to stick maybe ill give it another shot

Break the bubble on the glue when you put it back in the water I just learned this :)

 

[ReefED!]

Can it be scraped off?

I'd be worried about if something caused it to die in the tank - I've had a pretty large section of cyphastrea die off for some unknown reason before while everything else (including other cyphastrea) did fine.
