Glueing to glass

[Maxi]

If you glue a couple heads of a zoanthid colony onto the coraline growing on the glass, will they spread there?

 

[jmadison]

I'd have to imagine so. I have had them grow off a frag rack to the glass.

Instead of glueing directly on the glass, just get some magnets that folks use to hold up frag racks. Helps by letting you move the polyp to where you want and it's not permanent.

I really like the way they look growing up the glass. May have to do the magnet in a small piece of rock thing.

May I suggest having them grow on your overflow if you have one?

 

[Trichome]

I plan on having them grow on the back wall and the overflows of my tank. I am going to use the old magnet trick to get them started. I had some growing on glass bu t they where growing really slow on the glass.

Oh yeah i also glued some on the back of a live snail shell. Its pretty funny to see a snail running around the tank with zoa's growing on its shell.

i know those brown protopalys certainly love the glass, at least they do in my tank. i just stuck them in tthe corner and they grew up the glass. i did that same thing to a snail once but the polyps all died, the snail also used to do that shell flick thing they do constnatly. i think it knew there was something stuck on him and it ****ed him off.

edit: cant say ****?? that is horrible. what are we? puritans??

That would look neat to have a snail with zoanthids on it. I wonder if a snail would allow green star polyps to grow on it, since those may be a little lighter in weight. The only problem would be the coral would have to rely on the snail to stay out in the light during the day for photosynthesis to occur.

I have had them grow on glass and acrylic; just move there colony close by on a rock and they should grow onto glass just fine, mine did

 

[fishgeek12]

it will grow regardless of being on coraline or directly on the glass

any body have pic of zoas on the glass?

 

[RightCoastReef]

I've glued green stars and zoas onto snail and hermit shells...hermits actually seem to like the decorated shells better. I've got xenia on my glass right now and it looks pretty cool. I'll see if I can get a pic.

I've recently glued various coral frags to the back glass and they don't seem to stick all that well. Lowering the water level and drying the glass and then glue seems to work better. I may have try some of the magnets so I don't have to keep looking for the frags that the snails pop off.

Ive got discoma that strayed off of rocks and is now growing on the glass. Dont really like em id rather have zoa, someone post pick on the subject

holy crap! :eek1:

 

[marioensf]

makes the tank walls come to life but what really gives the tank walls a living effect is xenia or gsp covering all, specially because they move with the flow; I've seen with xenia and gsp and the look is amazing.
Zoas fill the walls with color but what I've seen is one type of zoa taking over the wall; would be nice a multi-color wall

 

[650-IS350]

I've those as well, even filled and mixed with really nice white pompom xenia's.

 

[robertshear]

zoas on glass would be easier to frag too...hmm. something to think about
