Hey all,

I was just wondering on people's thoughts of me gluing this acan frag to a certain spot on my rock.

The frag seems very bulky, and it seems that it is going to stick out a lot on my rock work, should I put it somewhere flatter maybe?
Also, will the place I plan to put it be too steep?

Thanks everyone,
Will.

P.S.
First image is the frag
Second image is where I plan on putting it
Third image is so you can get an idea of how steep it is.
Thanks :)

Update;

I glued it... I feel like it just bulges out so much. I can rip it off and re glue if I want... What should I do?

Usually your first guess is the best, I would leave it alone and let it grow out.
Alright... you are probably right,

Do you think the chunk of rock it came on will be visible after it grows?

Thanks for the reply!

Not likely, as it grows the base of the coral will almost encrust the surrounding area, and as the polyps get bigger they also cover more.
