So I have tried to attach 2 different leathers to my rock using that aquamend and they always detach themselves from the aquamend and bend downward no matter how high or low from the lights I put them.
So this time I have a chili coral and I used super glue gel. Its doing the same thing! Bending downward.
Thats what the others did before the detached themselves and then died.

Hey guppy,
I am new to this but I have a red chili coral and when I first got it I was like why is always laying down, but with some research I found out that they like to hang upside down dont know if ths helps. I glued mine upside down in a cave of my LR and no more problems.

my carnation i just used super glue. but its also a very small frag. lfs through it in the bag for me for nothing so i just glued it to a rock and put it in the tank. its not growing all that fast but it does stick straight up.
i noticed though that on my christmas tree coral.. i have the current blowing at it from both sides to keep it from laying down. its about 4 inches tall but always like to lay over when there is no current hitting it.
i never heard or thought about glueing it upside down. might just try that. anyone else heard or try putting them upside down?
