Cauliflower coral - How to attach?

T

Traveler

[I picked up two very small frags of cauliflower coral from my LFS. They were only five bucks so I figured I would give it a shot. I had them under some fine mesh ribbon and it worked fine for the smallest one (about 1/4 of an inch). The larger one (little over an inch) hasn't taken a hold yet. Is there another option I can use to attach these to a rock? Can I use some super glue gel?]
 
[That's what they called it at the store and it's so small I'm having a hard time identifying it myself! Thanks for the tip, right now I was able to wedge it between the lr and a shell, hopefully it will take hold.

The cauliflower is Pocillopora, but the color is a little different from the images that I've seen. Other than that it's my best guess.]

[No this is the first one. I figured I would give it a shot with these two little frags. Thanks for the tip with the screw - I've heard of that before, but didn't think about it.]
 
[Yeah...I have them up as high as I can get and they are in an area of pretty good flow. I'm just about to order some new bulbs and I'll have the MHs up and going soon enough. Thanks again TealCobra!

[Once you start getting SPS frags superglue gel will become your best friend!

I use it a ton. (Well not as much now since my tank is pretty full) Anyway I would suggest you glue it on to a smaller rock/plug/screw whatever outside the tank so you can let it securely cure. Then either wedge that rock or whatever in a crevice or attach that rock to your rockwork with either superglue or epoxy. Works like a champ.]
 
[can't wait to see it. Take a pic, or I'm going to have to come over at lunch and see it :smart:


How big is your ballast again? cause I'll have a couple of 10K 400 watts tomorrow that you could use until you get your new bulb

later

[I still cannot get the larger frag to attach to anything. I've always used super gule to attach corals, but this one will not take! It will be fine for a few days or maybe a week and then its gone. I have to dig around to rocks until I find it and start all over. It's getting to be a bit of a pain! :stare:

Yeah adam I have the 250s. I should finish up the doors on the new canopy in the morning and then have stained and ready to go this weekend. Mid shift is killing me...it seems like if I'm not at work I'm sleeping. I haven't been able to get anything done in the past week!]
