Moving coral

[jazonPartij]

I always hear people talking about changing the location of their coral in their tanks. How can you change the location after you've already glued it in place?

I have a few nooks I use for acclimating purposes to find happy light flow and/or I use just enough superglue to hold in place but still be able to move later if coral is not happy

Mine seem to pop off pretty easily if they haven't grown over the plug. Not sure if that's as true of the putty though.

Agreed. I use super glue gel. It holds nicely but is fairly easy to pop off if coral is not attached. Excess glue pops right off with a finger nail. Great stuff

I'm thinking after the coral has encrusted to the rock

I buy a canister of rock bubble from BRS and put it in my sump. Then, when I get a new frag, I glue the frag to the rubble really well, then glue to the rubble to my main rock structure. This allows the frag to encrust but still be movable, plus not look ugly like frag plugs.
