Hey everyone. So i had a frag of highlight cloves in the past, first couple weeks went well but i did not glue it down, and after it fell it never really recovered and melted away. So i got a new frag, in the sand it didnt open, put it higher and still wouldnt open HOWEVER to be fair, i did not glue it and it also fell, twice. So i finaly glued it to this lower rock yesterday evening. Its been a week and it never even attempted to open a single polyp. Any advice?

Hi,

Doesn‘t look too good. See if anyone around can give some advice I’m not seeing
 
They melted... could have been a shock from my alk. Being 11 or just after they fell they gave out. Second highlight clove frag... im taking it a sign lol
