Zoa frag issue...

[Quiet Tempest]

I recently purchased a frag of AoG zoanthids. I love them and the little golden-yellow zoa that was nestled between a few of the polyps. I'm not thrilled with the fact that polyps have fallen off the frag disc. One head fell off in the store while the disc was being bagged. That head was scooped up and put in the bag with the disc. I just shrugged it off thinking it was just an issue with that particular head. The disc has been in the tank for a few days now and two other AoG polyps and the little yellow zoa have fallen off and moved to who knows where in the tank. I don't really look forward to rescuing these polyps but I paid for them so I want to save them. Once I find them, what is the best way to re-secure them to the frag disc or to live rock rubble?

ive known several people to use mesh cover them on whatever surface you want them to attach to. Be sure you use ppe, personal protective equipment, when working with them though. see palytoxin for more info.

where did you get them?

I got them from the frag tank at Coral Reef.

And, yeah, I've read several articles on palytoxin so I like to wear gloves if I'm doing anything with those guys.
