Zoa came off base

[JeannineC]

Recently purchased a zoa frag. It was doing great and seemed to like where I put it. This morning it had come off its base and is floating around tank like a tumbleweed. How do I reattach it?

How many polyps? If more that one, you can use a rubberband to lightly attach it back to the plug/rock. Or, if there is some rock/plug on the base of the frag you can use super glue gel to reattach it.

There's prob about 8 or 10. There's nothing attached to it at all. So maybe the rubberband?

Yep, I would try the rubberband.

Another option would be to place a small/shallow bowl on the bottom of the tank, put a layer of crushed coral (or similar) in the bowl, place the frag in and cover with some type of netting until the frag attaches to the crushed coral. Then, you can glue it wherever you want using super glue gel.

Thank you! I used rubber band and it's opening back up!
