Attaching corals

[boxcar182]

i got a kenya tree coral that wont stay anywhere so i want to know a way to attach it. What is the toothpick method?

Stick a toothpick through it and then tie it down with thread or fishing line.

Do you have any rock rubble? If so, i always just stick kenya down in the rubble and then wait for it to attatch...usually takes like 2 days or so. Or if there's any low flow areas...that works too.

will the toothpick thing hurt it at all?

Nope

You can even take a rubberband and losely wrap it around the base of the kenya tree to attach it directly to the rock. It will attach itself in a week or so.

you could throw kenyas in a blender and get a thousand frags...a toothpick wont hurt it

jam the base down into a crevice

Put a rock in the middle of your driveway. Put the base of the Kenya on the rock. Now drive your car over it and stop. Wait two days and place back in the tank.

Seriously though, the toothpick works great or you can sew it onto a piece of LR with a needle and fishing line.

They are very durrable leathers. I ripped one off of a rock and it is now growing back.
