Getting glued frag off rock?

[kevin]

I had a tiny case of nudibranches(i saw two) & I wanted to dip a zoa just to be safe. The only thing is it's REALLY glued on. I tried to pry it off the rock with my hands but i broke a portion that it was on in half. Now that piece that I broke off is still be held together by the other half of the ZOA's. Any type of trick or something?

get a flathead screw driver, clean it alcohol to get any oils off and wedge it between the rock and the frag.

Off topic but what brand of glue. I have tried most and none hold that well . I would like to use some to teach my snails and hermits who's tank it actually is !

Ecotech Marine! I've never tried any other glue, so I can't attest on how it compares. I just know it STICKS.

It certainly does stick, they finally made a smaller bottle for 20 bucks.

i normally mix a regular AquaStik to a small thumb-size ball,
and pressed a "little" flat on 2 opposite ends,
then applied glue-gel to 1 flat end, applied the frag onto it,
finally applied glue-gel to the other flat end, place in tank, and press it a little bit, so it will stay.

this way, it will not be too loose, nor too firm...
it is easy to pry it off with a knife later on.
