Could you 'net' them to a rock like I've seen people do with Xenia? I mean, hold them against the rock until they attach themselves?

Doesn't work to well with Zoas as lack of flow = fungus/ dead zoas. If your really set on attaching them to the live rock just use super glue. Just make sure its on the base of the polyp, hold for about 15 seconds let set for another 2 mins and put it back in the water.

First of all a word of advice- be careful handballing them. Some are very toxic so be aware. If you have any open cuts don’t touch them, if you are fragging them use protecting glasses.

I had a good successes gluing zeo with superglue gel. I put some on the frag base and glue the polyp, letting it fixed out of water for few minutes. Now if you locating them in a good spot in the tank were they will feel good, they wont detached themselves.
