Reattaching Coral?

[mrdc]

My zoas and favite frags came in today. Three of them came off their frag plug. I have a little super glue left. I was planning to take them out of their shipping bag, dry the plug, dry the underside of the coral, apply a dab of glue and let it set. Is that the right approach? How long should I keep them out of water for drying purposes? Thanks.

Just a few seconds is all it should need

Ok will do. I just hope that I have enough glue since I don't want to go back out tonight. You would think 5 years in the hobby that I would have glued something by now.

hehe.
The glue does dry up pretty quickly. I usually blow on it for about 20 seconds and put it in <-- the frags can handle that easily.
btw... if they came off the plug you can take this opportunity to put it on a small piece of rock! ... just sayin (I hate these plugs)

I should have done that because I don't like the plugs either. I couldn't get two of the to stick so I just placed them in the tank. If they get move around, I will try again. I'm glad the zoas stayed glued because they would blow all over the place if I place them in unattached.
