    Happy Early B-day.:party007:

    I am sure you will enjoy the Goby/Pistol relationship.

    You're going to have to watch any frags on the sand from now on.

    Thanks!

    I actually removed every frag from the sand. I bit the bullet and paid the $12 for some epoxy and permanently placed my coral on the rock work. Only thing on the sand now is my candy cane. I think it'll be fine.

    You know, I was just thinking that myself. I need to get epoxy and start gluing. What type do you recommend?

    I used instant. Ocean holdfast. You ball up the putty and stick. All of my coral s were on plugs. I cut the "male end" off and super glued the disk to the epoxy ball. I then stuck the ball/disc/coral to a rock.

    FWIW, You could have saved $12 and just super glued (use the gel type) the plug directly to the rock. :)

    I've done it lol. I used the epoxy this time to hide the plugs. I didn't want to remove the coral from the plug and reglue it. Irritates them too much time.

    Spotted him in the rocks this morning. Made it through the night. I think he's fine.
