how long for toadstool to attach

[aquaman2]

i got 2 frags from this guy, a toad stool and a cabbage leather. the toadstool looks great but just hastn attached to the rock i have him threaded too. how long will that take?

also the cabbage dosent look to good, and it hasnt attached either. how can i tell if its dead or not?

provided the frags are healthy and your water quality is good, it shouldn't take more than 1-2 weeks for either to attach.

leathers sometimes go through phases where they withdraw and slough off outer skin, especially when getting acclimated to a new tank.

if the leather dies, its flesh will rot and dissintigrate in a matter of days.

I prefer to sell my frags already attached for just these reasons.

From my experience, the best way to buy frags is attached to a rock and not just newly glued, but have been stable on the rock for awhile. Best chances for survival and acclimation.

yes i agree with happyreefer above that the coral will be happier and healthier

i also agree with sharky that it will take a few weeks before it attaches, so patience with that, and good luck

they both have attached, and the cabbage is looking great and growing pretty fast. thanks for the info.
