Attaching soft corals (devil's hand and large polyps)

[Mihai]

Hi,

I have some soft corals for almos a month now and they still did not attach (see pictures)
I put them in their place for at least two weeks (maybe 3) and they didnt' attach. They are both doing well (growing nicely), especially the polyps keep budding new polyps and the existing ones grew like hell (they are having a feast every night, I watched them!).

I tried to attach the devil's hands with a piece of a toothpick, but that an eyesore! And even worse than that is the blue rubberband for the polyps.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mihai

Try using an adhesive like super glue gel.....

That will probably work, but it does irritate soft corals, doesn't it? I though that superglue is just for hard corals...

Nope, works for all of them.
