My first coral

[justin1977justi]

I just ordered a Green Frogspawn from Marinedepotlive.com. It is my first coral. After I aclimate it, what needs to be done to attach it to the rock. Can I just put some super glue gel on the end and stick it on the rock or do I need to do something else first?

After acclimation you can either wedge it between a couple of rocks, epoxy it using the underwater epoxy, or superglue.

I personally like wedging it between two rocks temporarily to see if you and he like the location and then either move it to a better location or epoxy it where it is. Sometimes the superglue isn't strong enough to keep these guys from falling from their perch.

God bless,

p.s. Congrats on your first Coral! Be sure to throw some meaty foods it's way every now and then!

I concur, the best way is to wedge it around different locations to see where it is "happy" and also to give you a feel for where you might want it to be located.. My green torch has been wedged for several months in one spot and I have not permanently secured it yet.

Congats on you first coral! I agree with the other posts, don't glue it permanently yet, mine took a while for me to find a place and make it happy, some days I still think is not too happy but I have this coral for about 2 years now.
