Any good ways to tie the small fragment of a softy?

[Aqua Pro Builder]

I got all these little pcs of softies from MR members, but they all have a flaw. I can hardly make them stay in one place-they are too small. :banghead: So far I only have 2 pcs that really have stick themselves to the rock.

I am sad when the most beloved largest one loose into the center of my reef. I try blowing it back out with no success and I just pray it will somehow be expelled by my crab, the flounder or may be it can climb out himself.


Can I tie it with a fish string? Will this hurt it?

Any suggestion?

Wingo, I use a small zip lock container and pupt some rubble pieces of rock in thier - they eventually attach.

Put it on a piece of rubble then place some wedding veil over it and rubberband the veil to the rock and wait like a week

Also it always good to have a sump for these things ,Less flow and less activity going on there.so its easier for the coral to attach itself ,JMO

i've found sticking a tooth pic through the side and out the base to be a good method with xenia, yeah its a little traumatic but it worked great for me.

Toothpick is a good idea too. Here's a way to do it that's not traumatic though. Place the frag on a piece of rubble. Take the toothpick and lay it across the frag. Take a rubberband and loop it over the end of the toothpick. Run the rubberband around the BACK of the rubble, and loop it over the opposite end of the toothpick. The tension of the rubberband on the toothpick will hold the frag in place till it adhere's. rangehat

i'd go with what house suggested. poke a bunch of holes in a rubbermaid container to allow water flow, put some pieces of rock rubble inside with the frags and wait.

i've found that puting the frag between 2 pcs of rubble and rubberbanding the rubble together works. it will have to stick to 1 pc.
