Use full eye, nose, mouth, face, hand, eye body, family member, pet protection. In fact don't do this at all...highly toxic!

The glue is @Bulk Reef Supply extra thick. This stuff sets as soon as it hits water so don't get it wet until you attach the polyp.

When doing this I'm not really cutting the foot of the polyp, just peeling it from the rock. You can cut between each polyp to separate but don't cut the polyp. These will squirt when handled or cut so be cautious and protect yourself, others and surfaces. Use a very sharp blade. Razor blade or scalpel if you have one. I'm from Texas I use a buck knife. :)

I keep a cup of saltwater near by and drop it in once the polyp is placed. It sets the glue and keeps the polyp from sliming off.

Put the frags in low flow for a while so they can attach themselves.

Fully attached in a week or so and will start to grow more polyps soon after.
