You copied him!Did I copy you or did you copy me?
I resisted the idea of doing this for a long time as I thought it would be messy and required using 2 glues instead of 1, but I recently switched to doing this method, and love it. In addition to holding the frag MUCH better, the coral seems to encrust quicker onto the epoxy than it does on super glue. Also if you are removing the frag from the plug, you can still keep some of the base by cutting the epoxy ball off instead of cutting the actual frag.Really nice!
Just to know; is there some advantages to put the frag on the epoxy instead of just gluing it on the plug?
Thanks
That's interesting that you are seeing corals encrust quicker. I might have to do a side by side test to see. That would be highly beneficial in the frag world.

I just started doing that as well, all my frags seem to do better overall and encrust faster on epoxy then superglue. As well as I think epoxy frags look nicer/cleaner.That's interesting that you are seeing corals encrust quicker. I might have to do a side by side test to see.

I do enjoy their aesthetics! I'll give the side by side a try and see which one wins the encrustment battle!I just started doing that as well, all my frags seem to do better overall and encrust faster on epoxy then superglue. As well as I think epoxy frags look nicer/cleaner.
I actually have a side by side going at home with accidental Sunday driver nubs. I did one with epoxy and the other with just glue bc I didn’t feel like getting more epoxy out. I’ll have to check and see if there’s any difference. Both are the same size and done the same dayI do enjoy their aesthetics!

I think I have 3 now. I can’t really tell... they’ve taken over that disc plug I had it on.
With epoxyI’ll await your results sir

Suckers bet there. I haven’t posted the same coral since 2015 when this thread started.
Didn't you say something about never posting the same frag photo?
edit: that gif is maybe a bit angry, it's intended in jest
Whoa.....what happened to the Bubbleyum? You know I got my eye on this one! A few weeks ago it was this...FarmerTy Lotus Blossum
