Gel to glue coral colony

[clownfish_forever]

Hi brothers,

A quick question. I am wondering if anyone has tried gluing a coral colony to rock using gel?

I guess for frag gel works well but what about corals that comes attached to base rock.

I am hoping to avoid epoxy because it made my skimmer so crazy for 1 - 2 weeks before...

Thank you

i tried b4... take very long to cure... cure already also very fast drop off... one knock drop already... maybe if you want to use gel then you can let it cure for a while outside yr water b4 putting it in.

Actually that only time I used epoxy wasnt very successful too.

Maybe I didnt do it right - after I stick a leather coral, I regreted after a week so I decided to move it somewhere...surprisingly I only pulled lightly and it got detached ...lol

2part epoxy also make my skimmer nuts! So now pretty careful

when you talk about 2part epoxy is it the homefix one or the marine coral epoxy? because the homefix one when it cures usually heats up before turning hard so it might melt the corals.

Some reef brands two part epoxy
