i use the loctite gel but i was doing some frags the other day and ran out so now..... lol oops lol...

How'd they come loose? One of the frags I gave you? If you need more let me know.

Get the thicker model hobby glue. The same stuff with the word coral/frag in it is a bit more.

I hate running out of glue. Now I keep 3-4 bottles on hand. I picked up a nice little 16" toolbox from Home Depot for $6, holds my frag plugs, test kits, glue, etc. All that little stuff that's hard to keep organized just stays in there.

Sorry for the threadjack. With zoas, if you run out of glue, you could always take some sewing thread and tie them LOOSELY to the plug or rock, then cut the line after 2-3 weeks.

no au01st its a full colony of zoas (my first coral actually) every so often a few polyps come lose espicially after fraging it some, but like a cluster of like five polyps came lose this time and i am keeping them instead of letting them float around and get sucked up by filters...All the frags you sold me are doing very well everything is open and doin great now that the frogspawn is opening better everyday i think it looks more like a hammer tho lol, i keep comparing it to the hammers in my tank and my frogspawn and i swear it looks more like the hammers.
