Re: clove polyps

[mommbass]

I have a question. I purchased a frag approx. 2 months ago of clove polyps. They are healthy, but are not staying attached to the frag stone. Any solutions? I have reattached 3 times.

Welcome to R2R!!! I’ve noticed putting a rubber and around them helps. Just keep an eye on it.

Check your alkalinity

If they are detaching, usually is a sign that the magnesium, calcium, alkalinity levels are low.

Welcome to Reef 2 reef! Frommmy experience the rubber band trick works but if conditions are unfavorable they will pop off relentlessly and go find their own home! Goodluck!!

No rubber band, Place in a little solo cup with sand and get their stems into the sand. They will establish.
