Grrr. Epoxy I got didn't hold anything together. Really sucked. But put the rocks in and stacked safely for now, until. I can find an underwater and safe adhesive. Still better than it was.

A pair of zoanthid frags I got that were overflowing with polyps I tried to break up. For a first try I think it worked well. Snipped off pieces of the small frag plug base, then glued 1-3 polyps on each, then glued the small pieces to various spots on rocks to see which level they like best. Transplanted a blue spot mushroom to a bigger rock and found 3 smaller shrooms underneath! See how they grow out now.

Grrr...those stupid mushrooms do not stick to anything! Gave up with glue and decided to try an elastic. Not tight, but enough to hold it down.

Blah! Even with elastic son loose, the stupid mushrooms just split in half and floated away. I've caught them, glued them to small rocks, and put the rocks in little yoghurt cups under the lights but in lowest possible flow. Did that this morning and so far they're still attached!
