Turbo snails and coral

[Silvermist67]

So i have these small zoa frags maybe as big as a quarter on like these little stone things they sell them on and every day they get moved or pushed upside down into the sand or stuck on a turbo snail so what should i do get rid of the turbos and buy smaller?

Just my opinion but turbos can get pretty big and are like bulls in a China shop. They probably can damage a small zoa frag. Maybe trade them for something else. But Somebody else might have real first hand experience. I don’t have zoas.

You can glue frags down to rocks
Get frag disk to glue plugs down to

have a stern talking with your CUC

move frags to a frag rack

my conchs knock stuff over in the sand
Rarely is it my turbos. But sometimes theyb knock things over that are not secured

Turbos are my absolute favorite. I have zero issues with them knocking over coral as long as it secured. If you have loose unsecured frags them for sure they gonna be knocking stuff over though.

Glue the Turbos to a rock until the zoas get attached.

How do i secure them?

I will either glue my frags if I am happy with a spot, or I’ll find a way to slot it into my rock structure to making not be able to move naturally

What kind of glue do i use?

Super glue.
The green topped gel gorilla glue

if you are doing it under water pull the frag out remove the stem from the plug (unless your putting the plug into a hole) put glue. Put plug where you want it and move it around a bit and hold for a minute.

when you put the super glue in water it forms a skin that’s why you move it around a bit to kinda break the skin

You can search brs gluing rocks and coral for YouTube video. Shoes different ways to do things and a few kinds of adhesives. When I glued for the first time it made me a bit more comfortable that I wasn’t going to kill everything by poisoning my tank.
