Green Star Polyps

[chris35moto]

I got a half dollar sized green star polyps frag about a week ago. I have a 12g nanocube dx. The placement is in the middle of the tank and I have medium flow. The base is slowly curling up. Its almost folding in half. Im wondering if something is going on and if i should worry about it.

Its hard to tell but the base is almost folding up like a hotdog bun. Whats goin on? Thanks

I would put it so that the purple is touching you LR. I think right now it is uncomfortable not touching anything. Just my .02 cents

Try moving it down.

Get some superglue gel and put a few drops on the underside of the purple mat and secure it firmly to the rock with a rubber band in your tank for about 15 or 20 minutes while the glue hardens. I use the Locktite gel and the Coraffix GEL Adhesive right in my tank, even use them both under water with no problems. I've made about 87 frags of green star polyps this way in the last month and a half. It works awesome. And the most important thing to remember is to leave it alone for a few weeks afterwards. Constantly moving it around will stress it and possibly loosen it from the glue.

How long has it been in that spot? Concur with RyanSweatt, Any movement will keep it in a state of stress. Let us know how it goes.
