How long should I wait to epoxy
Monti frags to my rock
Thanks

are we talking about digitata or cap? IMO super glue jell works much better, epoxy will heat up and could cause damage to coral. Now waiting is another thing, the sooner after the break the better. No need to allow it to heal put the open end of break right into gel (digitata only) and allow it to dry for a few minutes (1-3) and back into tank. Most montis can handle being out of water for a few minutes, I have left them out of water for 5-10 minutes before with no problems. Now the other thing to remember is not to leave it out to dry and forget about it (not admitting to it but it has happened). :sad: The cap can be glued at bottom and not at broke off edge for obvious reasons, the edges should heal in a short period of time. Same gel drying time as digitata.
Hope this helps.

I use regular super glue. I take a cloth and dap off the water and immediate glue them when I find a rock. The sooner the better, that way they dont fall over into the sand, etc........
