|  Mounting branching montipora frag
Got a nice, healthy frag of branching montipora from the LFS today for $5. I'm wondering how to mount the thing to a rock, should I just use some super-glue gel?
Also got a nice devil's hand leather and am trying to figure out if I should put it high in the tank with tons of light and water flow, or in the sand with moderate light and water flow.
Any help would be appreciated!

Yup, just use super glue. I did mine that way, works great.

Moderate light and water flow would be my recommendation. Congrats on the new additions!  | |

[smiley=laugh4.gif] Well if you don't move the hand before mounting, you might.......
There I go misbehaving again but this time I was baited....or is that bated? I don't know anymore. | |

I think it was 'bated' and there was a lot of it :-)
