Attaching corals to rock?

[toytech]

Get some underwater epoxy , the kind that comes as a stick and you knead it together . I either drill a hole in the rock or find a crevice to stick the end of the plug in and then make a ring of epoxy to stick to the underside of the plug . Push the plug into the hole until the epoxy sticks to the rock and your done . Before i started doing this all my frags ended up in the sand and it was driving me nuts.

It will in no time be all encrusted over and you won't see the plugs any more. Sometimes I take sidecutters to cut the knobby thing off of the plug. It takes patience I started my reef mostly from frags and you can't see any plugs anywhere. If it was encrusted, I'd usually leave the plugs for the sake of the corals.
