Polyp Placement

[brayden]

These polyps are not attached to anything. I bought them loose and am having a hard time keeping them in one place. What would be best for them? The fish store told me to just wedge them in a crevice in the rocks. However I do not think that jamming them into a crevice and putting that pressure on them is such a good idea. Any ideas?

The green tiped poylps? Are they attatched to each other or a small rock?

Find a little piece of live rock -- sure there are some in your tank. Take it out and dry it with some paper towels. Take the zoa out of the tank and blot dry the bottom of it. Put a little bit of super glue on the live rock rubble, place the zoa on it. Wait about a 30-60 seconds, and place back in the tank. Place it where you want it.

I thought of gluing it, but the polyps are attached together in a little ball. So I would have to glue a couple of the polyp heads to the rock. Is this what you mean? Is this okay? Also how much light do these guys need?

Glue the whole little ball on a new rock with GEL super glue

Also, wear gloves while messing with Palys and Zoas. They release toxic slime or something like that.
