First time fragging, need help! Zoas

I discard. That glue will seal them shut.

Haha, guess I'll just have to be more careful!

They can shed it sometimes, it is not a death sentence. Odds of survival go up with multiple mature polyps rather than just a couple small ones

Okay, that is good to know. I put all of them in the aquarium, and we'll see what happens with the ones that aren't opening.
And one frag is blank now, no glue or zoas, like how is that possible?

 

[moatdaddy]

hahaha. is it accessible to snails or hermits. good lord those things find a way to remove frags from plugs. also could have just been a bad glue. look around you may find it generally where water settles in your tank.

 

[aquamann183]

Probably a bad glue then. It's on a little frag rack on a mag floater, lol.

Not sure if this is the case, but if the polyp had no rock when you glued it down they'll melt down to nothing.

No, I just cut it off and glued it on a piece of tile.

It is basically any gel superglue. I personally like this one because of the dispenser http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003Y...pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=loctite+super+glue+gel
But any that says cyanoacrylate and gel is fine. Just please do not put uncured silicone into your tank.

+ 1 on that glue. Works great and doesn't harden after the first use.
