New corals I've got a question

[ebsochin]

I just received some zoo frags and a couple ricordeas, can anyone tell me what type of glue or epoxy to use to secure them to the live rock. I've been told you can use super glue....is that true? :help:

Ppl. use superglue gel, has to be the gel type. You have to do it out of the water. Dry the rock off with paper towel and dry the base of coral and put glue on the rock and then hold the coral down in to the glue for about 30 seconds or untill it hardins. Dont get fingers stuck. IMO best to put small rocks in a basket with corals loose on top and let them attach themselvs. Place basket in a low flow area of tank where they still get light. Some ppl. gently try a rubberband around the coral and rock as well. Good luck.

Thanks Dogstar! I ended up using the super glue gel as the company I purchased them from suggested that and that is what they use. You have got to see these ZOOS! Man they are the most incredible colors. I'll post some pics later when they are fully opened up. I'm on my way to Busch Gardens with the kids so I'll try and do it later tonight. Thanks again for the help.
