Labeling Corals

[tim8111]

Does anyone know of an easy method to label corals? I am looking for a tag I can attach to the base and a waterproof ink/pencil that will not affect the water chemistry. Anyone have any knowledge of this?

Thanks,
Tim

Just use a pencil to write on the bottom of frag plugs/discs. This works fine, that or sharpie...

The problem is that you would have to lift the frag for price etc. This is for the LFS I own. Just trying to find a better way than writing on the tanks.

My LFS writes it on the discs and sets the discs in front of a row of corals the same price...

I tie balloons to the corals with the names on and they float on the surface.

we have tabs out side the the tanks with pictures of the coral and price, and we use pvc pipe for stands cut like 2 inches tall and set the corals in it or on top of it and mark the pipe with a number from a sharpie. On the wall we have the numbers and names of the corals along with price.

my local lfs uses wet erase markers, prices dont get rubbed off, unless they get wet

I have glued small plant tags for gardening on the back of plugs and used a marker to write on them. The problem I was having was the tag ends up shading the frag and they took up too much space on the racks.

I am in the same boat, having a challenge with lables. Just need a good way to price and lable the frags for display.

Here is what I was thinking about. It's a cable tie with a place to to write the price or coral name.

Use erasable ink and write it on the side of the tank. Have a number for each tank location - so you know which coral is in spot 1 - spot 2 etc.

List the number ( assigned to a locatoin in your tank ) and follow with coral name.
