loose polpys (zoos)

[petieaztec]

I have some loose zoos and would like to reconnect them to the live rocks.... i think someone said super glue but i dont know if that would be toxic....... if someone can tell me what they have done i would greatly appricitae it!!!

I've got a glue I bought called Boston Aqua Farm (www.bostonaquafarms.com),works great. I've used regular super glue gel with no problem before.

thank you!!! I just didnt know if it would be toxic. Im very cautious.

Glue = good
Silicon = bad

Super glue gel is all you need. Make sure it says gel. A small drop on the bottom of the polyp and it will usually stay. And the polyp can be out for quite a long time. But 30 seconds or so is usually enough.

Sometimes. But they usually slime up and don't stick to the glue.
What I do for shrooms is put them in a small container with some CC on the bottom. I put a cover of bridal veil (wal-mart has it near their wedding supplies or craft supplies) over it held down by a rubber band. I leave the shroom in the container for 2-3 weeks until it grabs some CC. Then I take it out and glue the CC to a rock.
