Does Glue affect Zoanthids????Please advise

[bobafet1]

If a zoanthid is glued to a rock after they have just been shipped will that affect them? In other words, will it kill them???

 

[JGoslee]

No. When ever I get loose frags I use glue on them right away. It won't effect them.

 

[apex003]

nope. you're good...

i always use superglue gel

 

[chrisstie]

As long as you didnt glue over the polyps and are just gluing it down its fine

 

[bobafet1]

thanks for the info everyone..i appreciate it..

Best superglue?

 

[Kigs]

just do quick dips after it's been glued. if you use superglue, it creates heat bubbles when you first put it in and it gets quiet hot. in order to stress the polyps out less, do few dips to cool the glue down and avoid getting heat bubbles

All the gel superglues are about the same... I like the Loctite stuff in the larger bottle simply because of the bottle, the glue is the same as all the rest.

Agree, I've had good luck with Loctite Super Glue gel as well.

Yep. I use the Loctite as well. In a little larger tube, so it goes further.

i also agree loctite is my firs choice, due to bottle it is much easier to control flow.

we kept 3 or 4 of those locktight bottles in our first aid kit when i played rugby.

that stuff is fantastic. used it a couple times myself. and it saved my homeboys ear!!!

Just so many uses.

had no idea it works as a frag glue. totally sweet.

i use the cheap dollar store stuff it comes 3 to a pack for a buck never had a problem

 

[edwing206]

I have some of that too catnup. haha.
Sticks just like loclite at a fraction of the price.

I used to use that stuff too. Twice last summer, I got it home and it was not gel, just regular glue even though the pack was marked gel. Weird. Started using the loctite, and just seem to be at Lowes more than the dollar store anymore, so I get the loctite there. The loctite seems like a thicker gel to me than the dollar store stuff too. Like salt and everything else in this hobby, most is user preference.
