Best epoxy for mounting corals

Hi guys!

Merry Christmas...

I want to mount my Monti that I got at the swap. It's starting to grow and I have it wedged between 2 rocks, but I'd like to make sure it doesn't fall by putting some epoxy on it.

What the best to use?

I'm pretty excited that I FINALLY have SPS growing.

Chuck

How big is the piece? if on the small size I would go with superglue gel myself. the epoxy is not sticky, more like working playdoe into crevices.

I like the Marineland stuff. It doesn't make my skimmer go nut's like some of the others.

Is it a cap or Digy? Usually things dont stick well to the bottom side of caps.

Superglue Gel sticks best. (To Anything)

Even if you use epoxy, use a dab of superglue gel to get it to stick.

Some 2 part epoxys heat up when you work them, be careful not to burn your montie.

Hmmm, I think I'll just use super glue. It's a large piece of monti cap.

About 5 inches across that I got at the swap.

I just want to secure it so crabs and snails can't knock it out between the rocks it's wedged against.
