    Well, come to find out my new neighbor is a reefer and gave me a red monti. It broke off and didn't look to hot so he said see if you can save it. Any advice? I am going to glue it down today.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Congratulations.

    Just acclimate it to your lighting. Monitor the big 3 and you should be fine.

    Good luck. I just lost one from nudibranchs. I don't think I'll be buying another one anytime soon.
