How Long For Epoxy To Blend In?
When i mount frags, i use epoxy. It's white, and ugly. This doesn't really bother me cause i know that it will eventually become encrusted. My question is how long until this happens, and how does it happen when my SPS grows up and out and not down and encrusting?

you should mount them using super glue...they sell this in LFS
it should start to get encrusted with coraline algae |

Usually coralline algae will grow over the frags within a month or so. I think deltec sells a coralline colored epoxy if the color bugs you a lot. For small frags that are not already mounted super glue works very well. Get the gel rather than the liquid, it can be purchased at any hardware store and is cheaper than buying it at an LFS as they tend to mark it up quite a bit.
