Bought a handful from them from the $9.99 bin. Make sure you dip your corals before you put them in the tank, 90% sure they are the source of my recent Red Planaria battle...... I got Pods from them too and was kind of disappointed in the packaging, giant filter floss with all of the pods hidden in it. Going with Algae Barn from now on in that regard. Otherwise, no complaints the Zoa's I ordered are thriving.

To stick on rocks, you can use epoxy putty and superglue.

I looked up online and it said that it is non toxic and solvent free. I would say it is safe, but do not take my word for it. Maybe, someone will chime in and let you know for sure.

Yeah I wouldn’t recommend using different superglue other than the ones that say “gel“ on it. Can’t you put the corals at the bottom first and wait until you can get the right superglue?

Did you end up using the harbor freight epoxy? I’m debating using it for my aqua scape.
