Perhaps I'm using the wrong search criteria, but I can't seem to find any threads on this. I have about 8 coral frags at the moment, all very small.
The joy is in watching them grow after all...right! Anyway, some of them are purposefully set on rock islands like the GSP and Pulsing Xenia to avoid unwanted spread. I have Frogspawn, Favia or Platygyra (not 100% sure as it's small) a Blasto, zoanthid colony of about 20 polyps, a group of 3 mushrooms (started from one) and a small Chalice. With the exception of the first two, none of these are permanently mounted but I'm trying to find where they are "happy" so I can then permanently adhere them to the rock work.
How do you determine where you are going to place your frags?
Really curious to hear how others are doing this. Also, what are you using to bond your corals to the rock work?
Thanks!

How do you determine where you are going to place your frags?
- Do you move them around until you find that they are open and happy then set them there?
- Do you try and anticipate their future size and arrange them based on that?
- Do you focus on coral aggression and place them away from each other?
