Wow, I'm always a day late, dollar short...but not this time baby! I can't miss being part of the board that will change the way reef aquaria is looked at on the web!

And just to add a tip about the zoanthid prop: When dealing with the larger frags as Rob was working with this isn't quite a big issue. But when you find yourselves with only very few polyps of a premium morph, you may only have 2-3 polyps to start the frag with. This is a time when you want to be extra careful with the gluing. A small dab will do, but INVERT the frag into the water at first while it sets. If lowered in zoanthid side up, many times the glue will "wick" up the stem of the zoo really irritating it. No need to stress it out even more by this, so inverting while glue sets allows any wicking to attach to base rock not zoanthids.

Other than that, nothing I can see that Rob hasn't already covered.

Robz,

What type of glue/gel do you use to attach frags to the rock?
