Thanks for the info but unfortunetly I tried super gel and they just full off eventually. Ruber bands alittle trickey, I did that once to a toadstool and it ripped it in half.

I just stick mine in a little container filled with rubble rock. After a couple days it mounts itself.

My roomie and I have had really good luck mounting softies by using a needle and fishing line and "sewing" them onto a peice of rock. Once they are attatched just cut the line and pull it out.

A Kenya Tree will mount without any problem with superglue.

However, many people confuse Colt Corals with Kenya Tree. If its a Colt Coral, it will feel slimy and won't mount with superglue. There are many options for mounting a Colt. The easiest would be to put the frag in a container of rubble and hopefully, it will attach and mount on its own.

Best of luck,

Roy
