    I just got metal halide lights with a few frags, how do I place the frags onto my main live rock? Glue them on? Before my tank was fish only, but I couldnt resist getting a great light. The frags are xenia, kenya tree, and a green dragon eye coral. Thanks I love this site!

    There are many different options.. are the frags currently on plugs or discs?

    If they are on rocks jsut add them to you rock structure and try to make them stable.

    Super Glue Gel and be used but in order to do that both surfaces must be mostly dry.

    its a very small piece of rock on each frag, they keep falling off of the rock structure. Is the only way to place them sturdy to glue them?

    I have a very spunky emarld crab that liked to knock off all my corals, I use the reef puddy works great.
