Got two big frags of colt that were floating around in LFS. My question is the ends look healed over and I need to attach it should I leave the ends alone and attach it to the base or would I have faster attachment recutting the ends. Any help is appreciated

No recutting is needed. The tissue will grow over the substrate if it is in contact with it. Cutting it will stress it more, making it longer to heal.

tbrennan,




you could take a rubber band,and attach the colt to the rock with it. it will grow on to the rock and attach itself to it. just out of curiosity what color are the colts you got from your LFS



good luck,

ya no cutting is required, just secure it on a rock. i never have luck with rubberbands but some people do. i stick my softies inside holes and they attach by themselves in a week.

fungia,



i really wish i could do that, i tried, but my fish (dragon wrasse) likes to pull them out of the whole and throw them on the sand. so i kinda had to do the rubberband thing. so, yea if you don't have fish that likes the tank the way they want it, you can put the colts in the holes. thank you fungia, you reminded me about how to do it that way. :wink:


good luck,

I saw my LFS use a cable tie poked through the coral and wrapped around the rock. I assume that once the coral attached itself to the rock, he would remove the cable tie.
