FrogSpawn fragged on a shell?

BigAl07 · 04-17-2007, 04:46 PM

just bought a FrogSpawn frag off of a local reefer... I was in a HUGE hurry (lunch break) and forgot to ask him more about it..

it's a small frag stuck onto a seashell (same kind as Shell-Oil's logo) which I think is a scallop.... My question is.... do I glue the shell to the rock where I want the frag or what? I don't want to use the whole shell because I it would look silly with a scallop stuck on the rock... any options?

ideas?

I'd leave it until you find a good place in the tank for it, I had to move mine several times until it liked it's spot.

Yeah that's the idea but once I do have the "ideal" place do I break the shell from around the base, cut it from the base or what? This is my first frag of this type... all the others were on a small piece of actual rock and I just glued them to the new rock where I wanted... I want to be able to place this one in the right place and the "shell" just isn't working for me....

Depending on how it is glued to the frag and the condition of the frag, you may be able to just remove it from the shell. Alternately, you may be able to cut down the shell to a suitable size. Also, don't forget, the coral and coraline algae will eventually cover the shell making it look like just another piece of the LR.

Hey AL, I answered at reefmonkey, but I thought I'd get you here as well. I glued the frogspawn to the shell so it would remain upright in my frag tank. It's just superglue and can be broken off very easily, just go ahead and remove the shell if you don't want it, it wont hurt anything. How is the frogspawn looking in your tank?

It looks GREAT this morning bro! thanks for that frag!

Once I get the rest of my "zoa-pak" in and I know where things are going to be long term I'll remove the shell. For now it's sitting proud on it's shell at the top level of my rock! THANK YOU!!

*LOL* I was looking through some OLD posts and came across this one. The reason for my

is that I was fragging some Zoas last night and I also used SeaShells. How funny!!

You cna still tell it's a shell? I got a shroom on a shell of some sort and the shell is so covered in algae you can't tell WHAT it is.

Want some of my hair algae to cover your shells : ) ?

Eww I hate HA! I was at the local Reef Club meeting tonight and they gave away a packet of stuff that the President used and said it totally wiped out his HA in 30 days and since he was also addressing the REASON for the problem it's been gone for months now. I'll have to get the name of it but it comes in small glass viles that you break and drip into the tank.

OH REALLY??? Yeah, hook me up, see if you cna find the name of that, I've been battling the evil HA for a while now. It's KINDA under control, but...

Well, on the up side, my clown is hosting in the stuff.

The company is called Prodibio. There are two products that are used in "unison". They are Bio-Digest and Bio-Optim. I may try to order some this weekend (depending on anything URGENT I discover I want sooner).
