I have traded quite a few leather frags (devils hand, yellow leather, cup leather) lately, and would love to hear some feedback on how the frags are doing. I know Stephen has a new found love for leathers from my Devils Hand, and i would love to hear if others were also happy with their frags or, heaven-forbid, disappointed. Thanks, Albert p.s. it was really nice meeting all of you that i met.

My yellow leather has been doing fine Albert. Polyp extension has been fine, but the leather seems a little shaky on the rock it's mounted on. How can I attach it better? Dean |

perhaps it loosened a bit in the bag between my house and yours. It attaches itself (i did not use any glue, all natural), so as long as it has a grip on the rock, it should just grow stronger.

I superglued mine 2x & it fell off both times. The second time I did quite a number on it & thought that there is no way it could come out. Now I can't even find the darn frag! |

u dont need to super glue leathers, just strap them down with a rubber band they will attach in about a week or 2. new frags ausually stick a toothpick through them and then strap the tooth pick to th erock with a rubberband. either way will work fine and the leather won't have any adverse affects. gl, Frank

Hey Albert! I didn't kill them but they are surely torturing me! They do not want to attach to anything! I am giving them a week and then I will tie them down! I use a thread to tie down my corals. |

I finally found my frag, under my cave. Don't know how it managed to get so far under there, nonetheless, I have it. Rubberband idea sounds like cruel & unusual punishment. Almost seems like I will suffocate the small frag. What are my other options? |
