How do I frag lose zoas?
I recently got a couple of frags off another reefer on here and one of my zoas popped off the rock what is the best method for getting it to stick back on the rock, thanks?

I have had luck crazy gluing individual polyps to a rock. I make sure the rock is dabbed dry at least and dab the polyp dry as well. Then I put a small drop of crazy glue on the rock and lightly press the base of the polyp into the glue. I let it dry for a few minutes before returning it to the water. They will sometimes come off again, but I have used this method with success.

If the rock is not dry and the bottom of the polyp the glue will not stick. At least that's what happens to me.

Yep so it sounds like it's time to dry some rocks and grab the crazy glue then, I've tried this before but I never dried the zoa so that's probably my main problem thank you all for the help. I'll let ya know how it turns out.

I always dry both rock and polyp, dab a little super glue gel on the polyp, and then blob a little on the rock. When you put the polyp to the rock, it helps to get the polyp to grab a little better.
This is only how I do it, everyone has different ways. |

I do like everyone else, glue it to a rock. Then i place it in a small plastic jar i have with just a hole in the bottom and place it on the sand. After a month or so it will attach and you can take it out of the jar. The jar gives it an area of real low flow so it can attach.

I just dab glue on the bottom of the polyp, clean off rock while still in tank and just hold it onto the rock for a few seconds and it holds.

I use a wooden toothpick. Of course, don't stick the toothpick directly into the polyp, stick it into the mat.
