Got some Corals

[ford81502]

I got some coral frags for my 12 a couple days ago. some zoos shrooms and some xenia.. Do i put the Zoos and the shrooms on top of the sand????? The current pushes them around like crazy...i will take some pics when i find out what to do with these guys.. Thanks for the :help:

are they attached to rocks? or just floaters? you can cover them with a net and rubberband them to the rock and leave it for a few days...they should grab on

some are attached some are just flying around

 

[cjason3041]

for the floaters you can just let them land where they land, but they will probably not be where you want them...
i took an old green fish net, cut it in a square and covered the frag and rubberbanded it to a rock, i was told to leave it for a week, but i am impatient so i uncovered it in 36 hours and it worked for me

Can i get some help from the NANO QUEEN DeMartini

yes, they'll be fine.

The best thing for you to do is super glue them to a rock. Use the gel based super glue.... Make sure you take them out of the tank before you super glue them. Don't get any super glue on the heads or they may die.

so when you super glue frags to rocks, do you need to wait a certain amount of time for the glue to completely dry and for all of the fumes to dissipate before putting the LR back in the tank?

 

[demartini]

buy the quick dry gel glue... hold the glued pieces together for a minute, Then place the glued frag in a small container of saltwater for a minute or two before you add it back into your display tank.

wedging the xenia between rocks is fine... don't glue them.
you can leave the mushrooms in the sand if you want. Since your mushrooms are already attached to sand you can super glue them to a rock if you want to.
