Fragging branching SPS corals - Page 2

dgasmd · 12-20-2003, 12:37 PM

The montipora capricornis I have been able to glue in 2 different ways. If the frag is large enough as in the picture below, I will lay it in the rock and only put gel glue in a couple of contact points with the rock. I don't like to put a lot under the frag because it burns the tissue from behind and it wither will take forever to heal and encrust or it will die soon.
The other way is to get a rubble rock or find a spot in my rock to be glued onto that has a groove. Then, put the glue in the edge of the frag and wait a minute or two. I then just glue it to the goove. This works well most times.
