question regarding polyps

[wvanderborg]

I have a small neon green/blue vietnam zooanthius colony that is my pride and joy. (Totally a freebie too) It has a total of about 18-22 heads and just looks awesome but I can't seem to get it to attach to anything. Live rock, coral chunks, crushed coral. It just sits on the top. I have it in a small cup on the top of my tank. Does anyone know why its not taking to anything?.?????

I posted a pic of it in my album nano reef (even tho I guess a 25 gal isn't considered nano lol)

You'll likely need to super glue it to a rock. The gel is easier to work with IMO. Just be sure to place it somewhere in the tank (depth, lighting, flow) that it is happy in for awhile first.

I don't really want to put glue in my tank. Lol.

The super glue will cure almost instantly. Just make sure no shrimp think it is something to eat. You could also try this Tunze Coral Fix Epoxy (4oz) - 0104.710 I use super glue more than epoxy unless I have to make a false wall for a frag plug to stay in a indentation in the rock.

Alright ill use super glue. That won't stop it from spreading will it? I want it to get huge. Lol. I don't have shrimps. Just snails and a scooter blenny n a six line

The polyps will grow right over the super glue. I have glued one polyp on a frag plug and it spread just fine.
