Just musing out loud and wondering if i am not alone. Has anyone ever tried to 'seed' their scape with zoas? I mean, you can stick the whole plug on the rock and be done with it, but if you are patient, you can do it without glue or plug stuck to the rock.
I have found (mostly through apathy) that if you let your fancy new zoa plug sit on the rack until it fills the whole disk, then temporarily stick it on the rocks, that it will send out runners and colonize the rock next to it. Then you just pop the plug up leaving 3 or so heads firmly attached, rinse repeat. Tons of spread, no plug stuck to the rock and no messy glue.
