Securing Colt coral...
I bought the Colt Coral and brought it home, Unfortunately the coral detached itself while in the bag.. Now I am having a problem securing it to the live rock.. Keeps falling off and I think the Hermit Crabs knock it off as well.. How can I get the Coral to re attach to a piece of live rock.

I've used two ways. If its big enough you can use a rubberband to secure it until it reattaches to a small rock or frag plug. Usually a couple of weeks. Another way is to wedge the base of the coral into a hole in the live rock. Or wedge the base between two small rocks and it will attach to one. I've also seen a few toothpick stuck through the outer base of the coral into small holes in the liverock. It will hold it in place until it attaches.
Good luck Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 |

Thanks for the replies. I ended up putting 3 rubber bands together and creating a webbing. It was perfect, not to tight but snug.
