Colt Coral question...

[derekc]

ok i bought a frag from my LFS of a colored colt coral...i attached it to a piece of rock with a rubber band and i went to move this rock today and the coral split where the rubber band was attaching it ...i reattached it with less agressive rubber band ...did i attach it too tight the first time?

bump

assuming that the coral is still ok and not decaying, I believe that it would be alright. The band was probably on tight, but that's ok. Just attach everything with gel superglue

i have a green one that is so slimy superglue wont even stick to it. i had to stuff the colt into a crevace in the rock, then put a piece of rubble rock over it squishing it onto the rock.

I have found that the easiest way to attach leather type corals is to stick a toothpick through the base and then rubberband the toothpick to a rock so that the foot of the leather is touching the rock. Then in a week or longer, you can take off the rubberband and gently slide the toothpick out. This worked well on my colt coral.

ok i attached it with all purpose krazy glue is that gonna work and hold it?

I'm no expert on fragging, but for months I had problems getting super glue to work attaching my frogspawn to a rock. I bought Lcoktite Super GEL last weekend on the recommendation from someone on this forum and it worked like a champ. Locktite can be found at Lowes for sure and I believe Home Depot.
