Are they attached to anything and is there anything in your tank to knock them over if you don't glue them down?

they are still in the plastic bags and i have no excavaters/bulldozers in the tank...tobin

I meant the actual frags in the bag. Are they attached to a plug or a tiny piece of live rock or are they just free unattached frags?
Also what type of corals are they?
Without any bulldozers you can probably be fairly light with the glue and let them attach on their own with time, but it is up to you really. I like leaving them lightly attached as it gives me the option to move them later if they arn't happy.

should i temp acclimate the bag 1st?...tobin

 

[clay12340]

I like to drip acclimate my stuff for a half hour or so in the bag and then retie it and temp acclimate it, but everyone has their own strategy.
I'd definitely at least float the bag to temperature acclimate the corals before you open it.

hey buddy, this is what i do--temp acclimate them for 15-20, then what you can do is just add a bit of your tank water to the bag every 15minutes...i didnt put much water for the zoos as they dont need much so it wont take long too acclimate them at all...if you want to attach them to something bigger use super glue gel and attach to whatever youd like.

Dry rocks work best, if you still wanted to know.
