new coral!

Hey, I bought new coral, it came on a rock, it was a beginner pack. It included a GSP, 2 kinds of zoanthids, an Finger Leather Coral and a mushroom. My zoanthids came right out when i put them in the tank. The mushroom is doing good, but how long will it take to get a footing on the live rock? My Finger Leather looks flimsy and it's also not on the rock, it's just balanced on the rock. My GSP doesn't look to good. It hasn't even poked one of his polyps out. How long until everything is looking to how it was when i bought it? I'm getting kind of worried. Thanks!

Gsp takes a few hours b4 it will slowly open up... Now your Mushroom and leather heres a idea for you... to get them to attach to a rock there are a few methods.. Some say to tie it down with thread or use a rubber band it down to a rock.. or i like to do is cut the bottom off a 2 liter bottle and place some rock rubble in it and of course the leather and shroom.. then its a waiting game till they attach themselves...

Hope this helps you out... Good luck....

 

if i used epoxy to glue it down, would it kill it?!? can it attach itself to the rock?

 

i havent tried that... i will epoxy the rock to other rocks but not softies to rocks...HHmmm good luck...

 

i don't want them to die from something in the epoxy though, you'd think if you put in the water, there should be any chemicals in it. Its the kind that can cure underwater

 

Only thing i can think of that will die (i hope not) is the corals you put the epoxy on. the rest your tank SHould be ok... but dont quote me on that stranger things could happen...

 

i'm just gonna let it grow off by itself.
