so we are getting a few coral frags in the next few days and me and hubby are having an arguement on what to do with them when we get them. For the few corals we already have in the DT, hubby did a messy, anxiety-provoking ritual of trying to figure out where to put them permanently and getting glue all over and trying to stick down putty and OHHH it was a mess! we now have at least one in a place we would rather not have had it! (it's looking sad and we want to move to a spot it might be happier but darn if it isn't STUCK with the silly putty)
I am telling him to just put the new coral frags on the bottom, in the sand, at least the ones that say low or moderate light, and then just wait awhile until we see how they do and can make a better decision on where to put them.
He wants to stick them all down permanently where he thinks they should be permanently. arrghhhhh
What do you pros do? how can it possibly hurt to just set them down in a way that they can be moved in a month or so - we could even stick them to a little piece of rubble that is moveable.
(someone tell me I am right and he is wrong! or .... well .... tell me he is right if you must)
