    I got some beautiful frags today from a guy for free he was moving. One is a bright green birds nest, montipora cap, zoa's and a blue zenia. I put some super glue gel on the birds nest because it fell off the reef plug. Is that ok will it be fine?

    Does it matter if some of the super glue got on the bottom of the coral like the bottom 3 or 4 polyps or will they just die off? I have kept many corals just not SPS so i'm in for a world of learning as far as frags go.

    It will kill the polyps that it covers but should not create much trouble otherwise.

    to add to it, the coral should encrust over your glue and will then start growing upwards and such. I am not a fan of frags plugs so I glue all of mine directly to the rocks.

    Thank you pickup! I'm glad there are people who know a little more than I do otherwise I would be lost!
