Frags

[scapone]

I recently got some acan frags I put them in the tank in the crevices of my rock towards the bottom. They all are happy do I need to cement them in or leave em be there, on plugs.

If you put them on a rock they'll
Grow out eventually on to the rock, with only plugs they'll continue to grow on them most likely.

I always glued the plugs to rocks when I had mine.

Glue them some times snail knock thing over

I would wait until your sure the corals are happy where you put them. Monitor them in case the snails, fish etc knock them over...but give them some time to adjust to the light and water parameters, then glue them down.

agreed. I made the mistake of cementing down 1 of my trumpets in the front corner, and they hated the flow.I cemented it into a crevice and was impossible to try to break off. I had to move rocks around to accommodate for the trumpets

Exactly...save yourself the trouble

I never glue anything. Half the fun is rearranging stuff. But accidents do happen and if a frag falls onto another one and they are face to face one may kill the other.

its a double edged sword like they mentioned earlier . . . test the spot if the corals are happy with it, make sure you like the spot and GLUE THAT SUCKA. The last thing you want to do is have to put you hand in the tank more every day because you have spiteful inverts

Depending on the frag it will grow onto the rock it is placed against.
I wouldnt glue anything that was a fast grower.
Most importantly, I would not glue anything if you havent before without researching it further. Different frags require different techniques.
