    Well,
    I got a lot BS from the LFS.(if ya dont know nothing ..you get taken...when you do have knowedge, your treated like a Smart a**)..So i just took some other advice and clipped the branches down and replaced it to a spot under a flat rock (low light, no direct light at all) Now I just have to get some food......I'm gonna try to help it survive.
    I'm assuming this super glue gel is non toxic? sounds kind of spooky....but it will help me alot with other placement issues : )
    We'll give it a go...Maaaaaybe get some frags.
    Thanx for the feed back...
    Tim

    Right. It is non-toxic. What alot of people don't know is that superglue was originally (and is still being) used to close cuts that were too small to require stitches :)

    there is a spine ,not literaly but the material that is the corals namesake .if you cut it you will see it or you will see it on the dead spots. if you strip the flesh off like you would to splice a wire you can find a little hole in the rock to jam it into then seal all the non living tissue onto the rock with superglue.this will keep alge from starting there and irritating it.it will need good flow,
    hope this helps
