Making magnet coral mount from old powerhead magnets and rubble.

[JasonK84]

Question. Should I frag the tip off of the Red Planet or mount the whole colony? What would be your direction here? The coral was mounted to a piece of rubble back when I got it and just wedged into the aqua scape so it still can move wherever. It has almost completely encrusted the original rubble and about to start encrusting the main structure. Thoughts?

I would leave it whole, looks great.

Here is where it started. This pic is from May 8th of this year.

It’s done!
It’s a little higher in the tank from where it was so if it needs to come down a bit it’ll be no problem.

Now I’m wanting to do more! I’ve got 2 more sets of these magnets. I just need to figure out which corals I would like to mount.
Maybe a green stylophora, or Hydnophora, or maybe some frogspawn?

Wow that's a really great idea. I can't wait until my frags become colonies and I can try it out!
