I will be getting a frag of Mushroom, Xenia, Zoanthid, and green star polyp corals. This is the first time for corals for me, and I will be receiving just the polyps with no LR. How would I go about attaching these frags to small pieces of LR? SOmeone mentioned maine epoxy? (where can I get this?). If I used epoxy, would I have to take out the huge piece of LR I want to mount it on?

thanks
 
Use super glue that is gel type and a toothpick. you can simply just glue the corals mentioned above onto a rock if theyre not slimming. Or for xenia you can stab the body with a toothpick then glue the toothpick onto a rock. Or use a plastic can lid with rubble of rocks, place the corals on top of the rocks and cover with net or veil. Then just let the corals attached itself to those rocks.
 
For the GSP (shudder) the mushrooms and the zenia you can also loosly attach to a piece of rock with a rubberband (make sure to get out of the main part of the flow so they don't blow off. They will adhere to the rock on there own in about a week and you can remove the rubberband.

Pretty easy process and most of that stuff is pretty bulletproff as you will find later if you want to get it out of your tank.
