super glue under water

[xxchris060]

I am trying to attach a frag of zoo's to a large base rock. The zoos are not attached to a rock it is one big ball about 15 of them in one ball. Can i super glue them under water of do i rubber band them to a smaller rock and try to get that rock to stay on the base rock.

Thanks Kip! I just bought some the other day and was trying to superglue some frags to my LR. THe only thing I successfully glued was my hand to the tank. (Sure fun trying to type with one hand )
I ended up using epoxy, which is stark white for a month or more before the coralline starts to grow. I was wondering how in the heck people did that.

Sounds like something I would do...
At least now I know what to do for when I add my corals to the tank. I found another website selling all sorts of softies and low-med light LPS frags which is just what I need for my tank. I can't wait until I get them (still months away, though) and I'll post pictures of them when they arrive!

What kip says works but i don't think you can glue seperate zoos down very well. Anything that slimes will shed off the super glue. What yo ucan try and do is form a bridge in between the polyps that holds the zoos down to the rock. THey are held down with the arc of glue and will eventually attatch to the rock on their own. I wouldn't try rubberbands as they will just split the colony with the pressure.
