ANy type a crazy glue is fine. I use the thicker gel. If you frag alot, you can go to a hobby shop and by the "gap filler 10-15 second" type and it works great. Like 2 oz for $7. Should last a long time.

a lot of times the frags will grow a skin to replace the skin youve glued to and by doing so release themselves. Just keep an eye on them for anything that seems to be moving more than they should and reglue or better yet use an old stocking or wedding mesh

Aha! So that's what my yellow polyps are doing. I just noticed the last couple of days that they are spreading out on the frag disc, on the outside of where they were glued. I've had them for almost a month. Started with 3 large and 1 baby, now have 3 large and 3 small with what looks like a new one starting. I glued the disc to a rock so that they would spread to the rock eventually. Is this what is happening do you think?

Ok, Im not officially in the race, but wanted to do it for the fun of it cause i had some zoos floating around unattached so I decided to put them on a rock and monitor their growth. They are Orange centered zoos. I have three polyps on the rock. Here are the best pics I can take.

they should recover within hours. When I fragged the ones that you see on top, within a couple of hours they where open again. I took those pics the same day that I fragged.

well, i have to post from work, since my computer at home won't turn on. I can't get the pic though from my camera onto my work computer, so i have it stored with the date on it.
not that anyone else is posting, especially RFB--seems he forgot about this thread or his little spiral light killed everything in the first day :p
