How to glue softy to a rock?

[SS_Sean]

I'm wanting to glue a green button polyp to a rock. How would I do that?

They sell glue at my lfs. I'm sure they do at yours also. It's called coral glue but is just superglue gel!! Don't try to do it underwater though, I made that mistake and almost ruined the whole tube!!! I glued some green star polyps to my back glass about a week ago and they seem to be nice and happy.

Thank you, Sir.

Hey man no problem!! I'm quite new to the hobby but I don't mind sharing what little knowledge I have. It amazes me that there are so many people on this site but very few actually want to help noobs!!!! We all have to start somewhere.

I can't find the dang 'like' button. :spin1:

Make sure it is super glue gel and I do it in the water all all the time.

It's not that people don't want to help noobs but rather that some don't want to take the time to answer the same questions over & over again. With a little searching here & you tube the answers can easily be found.

Do you think there are any 'new' questions here? LOL.... The answer is no, btw. :debi: The search function sucks, so I asked.

Same question...different forum. And I agree the search function does suck!

I've found rubber banding them to your rock works better. Softies and super glue don't mix to well IMO. If you band them they will attach to the rock and you can cut the band in a few weeks.
