    I have recently got in to fragging corals and i am trying to get a rock of green people eaters together, other than plucking them off and gluing them on does anyone have any ideas as to how to catch the little buds that fall off? they just get swept around the tank at this point....

    could try gel superglue but good luck, they slime and its hard. the only other thing would be a rubberband. other than that your just gonna have to wedge it in a rock. if there attached to a rock already a hacksaw blade cuts threw live rock like butter

    I use superglue gel. Works great!

    Never buy 10 packs of superglue and a 6 pack of beer at 2am... You get some funny looks...
