Colt Coral

[wastemanagement]

pwoller from what I understand they fair better mounted on a hard surface so low in your tank will be fine just if you can place it on a small rock or perhaphs the one it came on if that be the case.
sand= rock=...

It doesnt have a rock that it is mounted to. What hav you found to be successful to attach them to one?

You can either glue it down or fix it to a rock with a plastic toothpick since they do not degrade
When using a toothpick, stick it through the base of the coral and then affix to a rock with a rubber band so that the foot or base side is being lightly pressed onto the rock.

Here is what I just did (earlier post)

Gathered stuff. No plastic toothpicks, but found some thin weedeater line in garage that would work just fine when sharpened on one end. (Just cut diagonally)

Super-glued pieces of sharpened line into holes in coral rubble.






Skewered frags of colt - then secured on with small piece of cut rubber band with little hole in center to served as a "stopper" - to keep frag from floating away.






Returned finished pieces to tank...couple in main, couple in nano. Low flow areas.

Seems to be working fine.

that was a great post too Well done omard, but I think your way is more for frags no?

Should work for attaching coral to any rock.
