Is it a goner? Fragged toadstool 1 day in

[ocellarisoasis]

I acquired this toadstool frag yesterday. It was on a heavy, dense rock that I didn’t want to put in my tank so I cut the bottoms with a fresh razor. My first time fragging a toadstool so pretty nervous it’s toast. All my parameters are stable (0 amm, 0 nit, 5 nitrate 1.025 salinity). Should I turn flow off?

I think you’re fine if it’s freshly fragged the get. A little grumpy for a day or 2. Leather corals are really resilient

Relax.......give it some time....It look fine.

Is that a rubber band? Don't do that, super glue it.

Looks all right. I wouldn't suggest fragging a coral on day 1of being in the tank, but this one looks fine.

I thought soft coral and glue don’t do well together?

Ok thanks, I wasn’t sure if it was better to just remove it off the other rock before putting it in or wait a little. Noted

Leathers are very slimy I would put a cup in there with rubble and let it attach naturally

That sounds solid.

In think 1 day is too soon to tell what the verdict will be but he looks ok to me. Give him some time.

I use rubber bands and even toothpicks all the time.......Haven't had an issue to date...and super glue doesn't work so good on softies

Seemed like it would restrict vascular function, but I defer to more experienced folks.

Glue them out of water. Once I soak my plugs I put a dab of superglue on them and wait about thirty seconds and drop coral on top. Leave them out of the water 2-3 minutes. Never had a problem with this method with zoas, toadstools, riccordia, or mushrooms.
