    If you use a rubber band use a wide one. I use this elastic stretch string that I got from the sewing store (NO I am not a regular there ;) ) it workrd better than the rubber band for me because it did not cut into the coral. You can control the tightness as you wrap the thred. Tie a loop around the rubble rock first then wrap a few times. I just fraged my zenia about 4 frags over the last 2 weeks. Tryed the stuff in the crevise thinh but I lost them. Also lost 1 or 2 to rubber bands cutting through. After 1 week the coral will grow through the string and it will look as it is just around the rock under the zenia. I have also fraged my leathers this way.
