Couple of quick questions if you would not mind...

SPS Corals.

# Can you handle them to set them in place with your hands - more concerned with damaging the coral than myself ...

# Will the self stick to rocks over time, if so rough estimate.... (SGGel here is shite, Superglue normal some times works...) - thus i've jammed them in places, holes, (man made pipe holes).

# Can SPS rest on the sand/stick in the sand?


Many Thanks...

1. yes, as long as you do it gently and wear gloves.
2. yes, cant estimate, since so many things are need to take into consideration.
3. i would say no, whatever live portion that touch or in sand, most likely will die after a period of time.

Understood thank you, and thank you for taking the time to answer.

They can be on the sand if they are attached to a rock or plug.
But they need the right par levels.

1. Yes you can handle them. I never wear gloves.
2. Yes they will encrust eventually but takes time. Months.
3. Sps can be in sand for acclimation but not as a permanent location. Unless you are running some major major lighting
