Loose palys...what to do?

[nanshaw2001]

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong forum. Didn't know for sure what they were classified as. I got some this weekend and the polyps have come loose from the frag. How can I re-attach them. Do I also need to worry about toxins from these like you do about zoas? Thanks for any input !

They will attach to rubble in a few days. If you don't have an area with low flow where they will stay put, you can fill a perforated plastic container (like strawberries come in) with a bit of large sand/crushed coral/small rock rubble. The container will slow the flow until they attach to something. Then use super glue gel to attach the rubble rock to your desired location.

I put a tiny bit of super glue gel on a frag plug or live rock and put the polyps base on top of the glue. Hold it for about 5-10 seconds and you can put it back into the tank.

No worries about toxins? If it is safe ...I'd just as soon glue them!

get some super glue

make sure it's the gel though, the liquid does not work very well. perfectly safe for your tank.
