    B, I'd put those on a little rock island, they can turn into weeds and take over, but if you place them on a little island you can trime them and keep them from becoming a problem. And superglue gel is safe for your tank and will cure quicker in water, i usually get a little bowl of tank water and glue and place the frag in that to cure, takes no time;)

    It only took a few seconds to have the glue cure then I threw them back into the tank.

    does anyone know of a way to attach a frag or coral to a rock without taking it out and letting it dry? my scape is not easy to pull apart.

    I haven't done it, but I think it's the same. Use super glue gel, put it on the frag, stick it to the rock under water and hold.

    Be careful, it's against the law to harvest any type of live rock out of Florida waters...
