I started doing that years ago when I ran out of room on rocks, Before I glued them I would scuff the plastic with a stake knife for the glue to grip onto, makes a big difference, I lost a few frags when I first glued them on and they fell off days later not to be found

I did glue a few acro's and a few softy's to mine with plain ol Super Glue gel and they are encrusted on there and growing well now.

You can see the 2 Acro's in front and on the left side there is a Zoa frag and up top is some Star polyps.

I didn't glue it though, it grew there from a colony that I lost when my tank crashed a while back.

Yep, zoanthids on the left and zenia on the right. I even had some nice red cap on the back at one time. I started by gluing a single grain of crushed coral or rock with 3 zoas on it and the zenia jumped from some rock to the back which was a blessing.

I have a picture in my tank thread.
