Coral frag

[God of thunder]

Hello.

I´ve just got some coral frags from a friend if mine, does anybody have any golden tips for me hore to get them growing and forming a new coral?

What type of coral is it?

With the lighting you have just concentrate on water quality and flow. Both are equally important for good natural growth.

Thanks alot, my frags are Trumpet, Cup coral and some softys....
Wgat is the best way to attach them to my live rock, i´v heard that some guys just dump them in the water and leave the attachment part to the liverock?

I can't imagine just dumping corals into my tank and hoping they'll attach!

It really depends on what you're trying to do. You can use marine epoxy to afix stony corals to your rockwork. Soft corals that are unattached can be held down with netting (like wedding veil netting) until they've attached, so they don't float away or end up attached behind your rockwork where you'll never see it.

I´m usineng a sort of combination of 2 types of clay that i got at my LFS, is that going to work?

That sounds like marine epoxy....one stick of purple and one stick of green, mixed together?

Yes, that´s it!
