coral placement

[benwildog]

I am planning on getting a couple new corals tommorrow, probably a bubble and a colt. When placing in tank, how do the secure themselves. Do I have to secure them or do they attach themselves? I want the bubble on a slightly graded rock, so do I need to glue it down?
Thanks

Yes, you probably have to glue it down to secure its spot. I use epoxy, but I find it a little hard to use sometimes. Other than that, maybe some saltwater super glue or maybe even sillicon would work.

superglue GEL

but don't most corals that you buy already come with a rock?

Not always

YEah just use the super glue GEL for the bubble coral, The colt will not attatch using the SUper glue because it will slime its way off the rock....Get a couple rubber bands and go from there.

WELL I HAVE A LITTLE ROCK WITH MAYBE 6 MUSHROOM POLYPS ON IT THAT I GOT FROM LFS......IT DOEST SEEM SECURE......IS THERE ANY WAY TO MAKE IT SECURE WITHOUT USING GEL OR GLUE?
