Thank you
No problem. I get the two pack from Wal-Mart. I find the loctite brand easier to work with when mounting frags. I count 20 Mississippis while holding the frag in place underwater on the location I want it in my tank.

Do you think the super glue will hold my Duncan to the rock or should I use something else?

It will hold. I use a cheap toothbrush to scrub the area in the tank where I'm going to mount the frag. It removes algae and debris. Gives a clean surface for the glue to adhere to.

Awesome photos! Here’s my purple-polyped Monti attached to and growing up the overflow box (by design). I love covering the back wall and box with coral.

Thanks to all for their cool pics!

I glued about a quarter size frag of watermelon zoanthid to my overflow box today. Been wanting to try it and figured id give it a shot. I'll have to come back to this thread and post some pics once I get growth.

My armor of god zoas are growing like wildfire and created a mat on some of the sand, pretty sure my project tomorrow is going to be relocating some of that onto the overflow box after looking through this thread. Some beautiful tanks. If any of you have updated photos since then I'd love to see them.

Green star polyp, Pachyclavularia violacia, Grows very fast and must be aggressively maintained to keep it under control. It does look nice and has nice current movement.

I have those, however, my stems are pink and long, so I mostly see pink with the motion
