plating monti question

[guinness]

I was looking at getting an orange plating monti from a frag swap. What is the best way to mount them? (It comes unmounted) Anyone have experience with these?

use superglue gel and glue it to where ever you want it to go.

I have afew. They are relatively easy to keep, med to high lighting and good flow. I feed mine cyclopeeze daily.

Superglue works well.......just glue one edge to the rock and you are good to go. If you want a beautiful looking "rose" as it grows, glue one piece on the side of a small rock and another on the opposite side. They will fuse together and make a beautiful centerpiece. Here's a pic of mine that started with two quarter size pieces.

The pic I just posted is under MH lighting. The original grew out under T-5. Here's a pic of what it looked like before I moved it to MH......quite a difference in structure
