I have a small tank and I've been buying frags from members since I can get them unmounted (in a small tank, looks funny with argonite plugs everywhere) and I can usually see the parent colony. Not to mention I like to buy them very small to watch them grow:thumbs: . I have a nice vertical face on my rock and have started mounting a few frags to it. However, I have to use epoxy instead of Super Glue Gel to get a decent mounting surface.
My issue is when using the epoxy, I have a bright white blob under each frag that just looks bad. Will coraline, algae, etc. grow over the epoxy pretty quickly and hide it, or will I just have to wait until the coral get big enough to hide it that way. Most of my corals are SPS/LPS and not exactly fast growing...LOL.
Is there possibly a reef-safe dye I can mix with the epoxy to mute the bright white a little? I know it sounds a little corny, but when all your frags are like 1" big, the white really pops out. Thanks.
