Morning everyone!
Even though this is for my Nano, I feel its more of a general Question. I have pics, but don't have them available to post just yet, but will soon! My morning project is to find out the needs of some various corals that I just got.
Well I have made home in my 5 Gallon Nano 12 Various small Corals from Seacrop, and wanted to get some help on attaching them to the rockwork and whatnot. Something that I just haven't seen an actual question about. How do you do it?
I ordered the following (Can't pick species): Not sure how to classify most of these yet.
2 Mushrooms,
4 Hard Corals,
3 SPS Corals, and
3 Soft Corals.
Here is what I got:
2 mushrooms (each on rock bits, easy to mount)
Slipper coral (no clue how to mount it-leave on substrate?)
Candy coral (glue/epoxy base to Rock?)
Fox coral (glue/epoxy base to Rock?)
Torch Coral (glue/epoxy base to Rock?)
Hyndophora (glue/epoxy base to Rock?)
Montipora Capricornis (Its brown/pink unattached)
Pavona (glue/epoxy base to rock?)
Cabbage Leather (its attached to some rock)
These two I don't know how to mount at all.
Finger Leather
Speckeld Leather
Other bits:
The strange 'Slipper' Coral: I'm not sure how to mount it at all.. guessing just leave it on the substrate? I noticed it has not put any tenticals out at all yet, but I can see some small green "heads" in the coral, and I think those are the tenticals. I think it is in too high of a flow area for the moment, and thats why.
everything I have is not very big, and looks Very nice in my 5G so far. Does anyone see anything I should try to keep away from other certain things, and what CAN I keep next to each other with little to no harm?
Thanks and I promise to post picks of all this stuff soon!
