    Default Tooth Pick Method

    I have read a lot of treads and articles that have mentioned the tooth pick method for attachment of soft corals , but there are never any good details . If anyone uses this method could u share this with me with some good details . Where to place the tooth pick in the coral.From the few photos I have seen it looks like u just stab the pick right into the coral out the other in and in to a hole in a rock.Could this be right? Any info on this method would help .Thanks

    The only addition to the method I'd like to add is that if you add a glob of superglue to the exposed end of the toothpick that will help keep the frag from slipping off.
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

    I've seen the coral/toothpick attached to a small rock with a rubber band (strecthed across one endof the toothpick, under the rock, and up over the other end of the toothpick), too. I guess it's for extra security (espeially if you don't use glue) and ease of placement if you decide you dont like the placement and want to move it somewhere else.
