SPS Grow Over Epoxy?

I've been using super glue to mount stylophora frags but not always successful so I tried Tunze two part epoxy.

The stylophora grows down over the super glue and onto the rock. It appears the epoxy prevents anything from growing on it (except cyano).

Will the stylophora cover the epoxy or will I be able to see the epoxy?

Thanks

I haven't used the Tunze epoxy.

I have had corals encrust over JB WaterWeld, another company's 2 part epoxy putty.

It takes time, of course.

Not to worry it will cover, it just takes it awhile.

I don't know. That's why I asked.

I've had sps grow and encrust on anything and everything if they're happy and healthy including many different reef safe epoxy brands.

It will definitely Chris over the epoxy. I use epoxy and auger glue to glue every Acro frag
