I dab the rock to dry it off, and put a generous bubble on the rock. Then I shove the zoas down into it so that it pops the bubble. I then drip water on the rock from above to firm up the glue. The hardest thing about this process is making sure the glue doesn't get on the tops of the zoas.

I tried it with zoas and it worked great. Just like Michika mentioned make sure the zoa lands right side up. I use gloves and a plastic forceps to ensure that the zoa is place appropriately.

Thanks for the tip. Has anyone figured out a way to attach zoas and mushrooms to large rocks that cannot be removed from a tank? The only thng I have found that works is putting them inside holes in the rock but that really limits placement

Thanks michika, but how do you get the zoo's free from the colony? Just cut them off like you would a xenia or a mushroom? Do you fully dry the glue before putting it back in the tank?

Also will this glue work?? Instant Krazy Glue - Advanced Formula Gel: http://www.krazyglue.com/products/pr...p?pc=KG484&g=1
It contains 'Ethyl Cyanoacrylate'.
