Fragging Zoanthids

[jcampbell]

I bought a new colony of Zoanthids and cant place them into the area I want to because there are polyps under the rock and I don't want them to die. What is the best way to relocate these?!?

I did buy some super glue: Loctite Super Glue Liquid(meant to get gel).

Beat way is to cut through the rock where they are attached glue the rock to a larger rock done.

 

[jcampbell]

Okay! Yeah, I'm not wanting to cut the rock, just to scrape the polyps off and relocate them! I am going to cut them at the base of the polyp and use super glue to hold them!
Thanks for the help!

 

[jcampbell]

okay, so, If I stick the razor blade under the polyp, it should come off, meaning the whole thing?

 

[jcampbell]

Will it be safe for me to put the rock with super glue into the tank? It's not toxic to my fish and corals is it?

 

[KrisDeitz]

As long as it is Gel.

Super glue is fine for a tank...super glue gel is better since it is easier to work with. Look out for "wet" glue as curious crabs and fish may bite/peck/grab at it and you can guess the outcome..uh huh...glued shut claws!

 

[jcampbell]

I have a lot of Loctite liquid super glue. I think I have very little of the gel. Is liquid okay?

 

[coolsurf]

It is ok but not as easy to work with since it runs and thins out.

 

[jcampbell]

okay thanks!

FWIW you can get super glue gel at the dollar store for $1 and works great. I grab 10-20 everytime i stop in.

 

[jcampbell]

I'll be sure to do that too!

The best way to relocate these is send them my way I'll frag it n bag it no prob.

 

[jcampbell]

haha! I just finished relocating them! I went well! It was my first time doing it! When will they open back up?

 

[coolsurf]

Well if everything went well, my guess would be today when the lights come on. Glad to hear you had success.

 

[raisedonnintendo]

Few minutes to an hour. Sometimes they take a day or so

 

[jcampbell]

1 or 2 opened last night after being fragged! Now I just need to frag my star polyps!

 

[raisedonnintendo]

Wait like Gsp??? Cause there's no fragging involved just rip off rock tear apart u got frags

 

[jcampbell]

Yeah! Really?!?!

 

[raisedonnintendo]

ya it should pull off the rock. Grab any household scissors and snip our different shapes.
