i ordered a 20+ zoa colony frag and unfortunately, it did not come attached to a frag plug--it's just the zoa polyps. They are attached to what I assume is some sort of mat. With the shipping, they are all retracted and the edges have curled up so that I cannot lay it down without some of the polyps being against the rockwork. How can I tell which side is up (curled up, it resembles a large blackberry with the polyps all pointing outwards). The flow in my tank is too strong for me to lay it up on the live rock...it will just get blown off.
I have seen recommendations for putting things like this in a cup with some gravel until they fold out....but I didn't think Zoas would move on their own. Is this true? or would the cup method work?
Should I just force it and peel it back as best I can and superglue as best I can to a plug?
Should I just keep putting it back up on the rocks and hoping it levels out on it's own like a ricordea?
Any recommendations?
