When I have made the Slurpee lid houses I have used enough silicone that the edge is covered. I have also simply "buttered" the lid with silicone and rolled it in dry aragonite sand. I always use aquarium silicone. You can find large plastic barnacles in LFSs sometimes too which fit over the hole for a nice natural-ish look, and are usually cheap. If you use a barnacle, glue it on first and then glue the sand and rubble on around it.
I have taken a jigsaw to these barnacles making a bunch of Jawfish "doors":  Last edited by Myka; 08-27-2010 at 08:10 PM.

exerpt from post 180 in the aforemetioned thread...
I also noticed that in the first video clip with the Jawfish living in the barnacle covered PVC condo that the fish was moving very gingerly when trying to grab at passing food. To me it looked as if the jawfish could easily receive a cut to it’s body trying to enter that barnacle at the normal lightning speed they usually maneuver in and out of their natural constructed homes. That jawfish seemed very uneasy and on one attempt completely missed the barnacle entrance to his man-made PVC home. Viewing this made me feel sorry for the poor jawfish. just some extra food for thought about this.
