Coral Glue On Ricordea....

[Marz]

I was doing some "gardening" moving a few pieces and trying (note trying) to move the Ricordea onto a it's own rock as it seemed to be expanding past the frag plug....long story short...I got come CG on one side of the poor little frag. I was unable to remove all of it, but there is still glue on it. Any help would be appreciated or advice....or even..SOL is fine. This was one of the first frags that I got and it would be a shame for it to "give up the ghost".

Once again, appreciate it.

Dear Totally Bummed,

You are in luck. Ric, shrooms, and most softies secrete a protective slime. Most likely once the ric is for being pissed off and opens, the glue will just flake off. Hence why you can not glue said corals to frag plugs.

i set them on a rock in a low flow area and they attach themselves or my best luck in tank use fishing line and tie just tight enough to hold in placethen cut and remove line later
