frogspawn unattached

Help needed- I recently added a frogspawn frag to my tank. It had been doing pretty well until today when it has unattached from the plug and has moved just next to it. It appears that the head is still on the plug.
Is it a goner, or do they do this?
Any opinion appreciated.Thx,

Re: frogspawn unattached

Well frogspawn is not a mobile coral. It has a stoney skeleton and is anchored by this. The head (or polyps) also cannot self disconnect from the skeleton. So I would say that the glue holding the frag in place gave way or something fell on it and broke it.

Re: frogspawn unattached

should I reglue it?
The only tank change I made was adding 2 emerlad crabs about 2 weeks ago.

Re: frogspawn unattached

you can reglue it to the plug with some super glue gel. Do you have a pic of it?

Thick glob of Suger Glue Gel or if you have some a wab of Reef Epoxy

Just be careful and don't damage any of the soft tissue on the upper part of the head

Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC*.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!
