finger leather

[GUAPO1]

Hi Guapo and welcome to The Reef Tank! Leathers are just about the easiest things to frag. All you need is a brand new razor blade a rock and a rubber band. You can just slice a little branch off the leather with the blade and lightly rubber band it to a rock in the tank. In a few days the leather will attach to the rock and you can take the rubber band off. I hope that helps.

Sharp scissors or a sharp knife or razor blade to cut the pieces off. Make them large enough that they won't get lost when they come loose. (I've had awful luck getting my finger frags to mount lately :roll: ) Anyway, I use a combination of regular ol' gel superglue to mount the base, and sometimes use tulle (think bridal veil) to lightly wrap the base and anchor it better. Another good way is to put the frag in a dixie cup of rubble and wait for it to attach to the rubble. Then you can expoy it somewhere else.

Good luck!

thanx for the tips guys. I'll cut a few pieces off and try a few different methods and see which one works best.
