    Oh yeah, I just went and bought 8 more coral frags this morning, I was so excited to get home, kind of like a young boy at Christmas !!!!!!!!!
    I bought a large sheet of bright green star polyps, no matter how much I dried it and the rock, I had way more glue on my hands than on the coral . Would not stick good.

    yeah they can stay out for a while but then they are back in the ocean which is near perfect environment for them, our tanks however are not so they usually do not last as long if they are out for more than a couple hours.

    anyway tip for green star polyps i put some aquamend on the rock i wanted to stick them to and put super glue gel on that and pressed it against it, then i took some toothpicks and poked them in sideways (not perpendicular) to then that way it held it down to it better and within a week it was already grown down to the rock and i removed the toothpicks

    Better your finger than a frag of purple deaths though- right??

    The polyps did, luckily, shed the glue and open right up! I got lucky!
