attaching ricordia polyps

[kmw23842]

What is the best way to attach loose ricordia polyps. Super glue gel?

I read somewhere they would attach automatically. But what I don't want is to chance placing the polyps in the take loose and losing them.

One thought I had was to place them in the refugium in my sump with some loose rock and see if they attach. I have minimal lighting in there, so I didn't know if that would be a hinderance.

You can try using superglue gel, but you'd need to make sure you dry off the area on the coral quite well to rid of any excess moisture and slime it excretes.

You can also loosely rubberband it to a plug/rock, or "sew it" on.

superglue works well and will not cause any damage.

i put small rubble in a small glass and put the ric on top of it in the tank. then after it attached to all the rubble, i glued the rubble to the rock. easiest thing ive attached by far

I either sew it into place or stab it in place with a toothpick.
