What do you do with the round rocks

[blueheaven]

Hi guys, recently there have been shipments of aquacultured SPS (good, we're helping reefs) and I cannot seem to securely place the specimens with the round rocks. They cannot sit on the LR and are hard to glue. Can anyone share how you place those SPS with the round rocks?

super glue gel first followed by epoxy.

are these the ones with bottle tops?? They are easy enough to rock off gently from the base. They are held on by some form of silicone glue i think so is quite flexible and they just pop out

Bottle tops? I'm talking about those which are permanently attached to the round bases.

break the base..

Some of the new aquacultured colonies going around are attached to man made bases ie bottle tops filled with cement. They are dome shaped though. If you mean round as in ball round then obviously different colonies.

I'm afraid of breaking the rocks cause it may chip off the base of the SPS as well. Or will the accidental cut result in a new specimen?

Bro,

use a pair of long-nose pliers, best for fragging SPS!

I did 2 the other day, one came off with the base complete, the other left a bit behind but as you said will become another colony!

Yah I had a pair for fragging purposes.
