    I always give my frogspawn about an inch radius between corals..It will sting corals, when mine was close to my zoas and palys they never opened.

    I would suggest moving it because it will most likely overgrow the area you have it in and your zoas will lose their light source besides the possibility that it decides to zap them.

    How do you fasten it? I am worried that if I glue it to a large rock and it does not like the conditions I may hurt it trying to get it off the rock in tank.

    It's not really that tough to peel a glued frag off the rock. Usually the rock is fragile as it is so you should be able to pop it off without any issue.

    +1 on this. Most of the time my snails will pop a frag off and I will find it on the sand. Thick CA works good but it's nowhere near permanent underwater.

    I wouldnt worry about glueing it down until you find a happy spot, like mentioned above I'm giving mine about +/- an inch and I'm on my 2nd try to find a happy spot for it. Once we are both happy I use a little putty & super glue gel, that has held all my frags in place good enough against my critters but still weak enough for me to pull it off if needed.

    Find that perfect spot before you glue. Always allow for growth.

    Cant really tell how much it gets blown around by a still but it looks pretty good there. Although personal happiness doesnt factor much into how IT feels I like it kinda perched out a little bit, pretty nice.
