Gluing coral to glass- how?

[JohnRougeux]

So I have a green star polyp that I was wanting to glue to the back glass and let it grow upwards. But when I put some glue on the plastic piece it's glued to, it doesn't stick to the glass. Do I have to hold it there for x amount of time?

I"m using Dynasty Corals Gel Coral Glue.

Usually what i do is use epoxy with super glue. Also would clean that area where you are putting it with a razor blade. Ive had no issues doing this.

Try starting with a glob of glue on the glass without the coral, mush it so it's kind of flat and stuck to the glass. Then when thats semi cured take the plastic piece with some more glue and press it into whats on the glass already.

I glued my gsp to the back hopefully it will encrust soon

Easier if you have coralline on the glass, any super glue gel.
Try to get the gsp off the frag and glue direct.
It is difficult to damage significantly enough to kill.
Or, put the gsp against the glass on the bottom, it'll grow up the glass.
IME, it only grows up, towards the light, on the glass.

Hi,

I was first thinking a coral putty but that’s not really and adhesive. I have not used it but may someone has experience with the Tunze coral gum? That is a 2 part epoxy from what I understand so it may work?

Coral Gum Instant

Why does BRS recommend this? Tunze Coral Gum is by far our favorite two-part epoxy to work with for frag mounting. Coral Gum is a fast setting epoxy that gives you just enough time to get the frags in position, but it sets much faster than other aquarium epoxies so that you don't have to sit...
