    How would I go about reattaching my zoanthids back on my rock? Thanks.

    They should reattach in a couple weeks. But how is your water? What caused the polyp bailout?

    you can glue it on....if you can take out the rock, take the polyp, and glue it back on...that works the best.

    My water is really good.

    KH 8
    NH3 o
    NO2 0
    NO3 0
    PH 8.2
    CA 440
    PO3 0
    MG 1450ish
    1.025
    78.5 degrees

    The polyp was on a dried out SPS piece from the LFS. Maybe it was how I placed it on my rock. I took on side and placed it inside the mouth of my LR.

    What kind of glue would you recommend. I would think my LFS has something, right?

    any brand of super glue gel. dab the backside of zoa stalk in glue and place on a piece of rock. let air dry for a few minutes, put back into tank (low flow area for a few days at least.)
