Cleaner Shrimp diet - Glue

[Reef Happy]

I was glueing some sps with some of that super gel and I couldnt keep my cleaner shrimp off of the gel. First he got his pinchers glued together and after awhile of working to get clear of that he ate the glue. Guess they require glue for their diet. Funny to watch.

Hehe! Another glue incident. There was a thread in the Reef Discussion forum a while back where a Yellow Tang got their mouth glued together. Funny stuff. The good news is it will eventually where off, or in the case of the shrimp come off in a molt if it hasn't already came off.

Well I had read that gel superglue would set up underwater and I did not believe it.

My turbinaria kept falling over so I glued it to a rock and could not get it to stick so I gave up and left it on its rock perch.

A week later it was still in place and when I moved the rock it stayed in place and when I touched it I finally figured out the glue worked.
