Epoxy and corals

Kelz88

Got Reef?
I was wondering if I could use my epoxy to hold down my Hammers, torch, and frogspawn. Id like to anchor them down since I got a new urchin, but it heats up a bit and I dont want to boil its skeleton.

The epoxy is Aquastik Epoxy putty.
 
I've done it and it works just fine. I have found that it works a little better if you put the epoxy directly on the coral rather than on a frag plug (it never sticks well to a wet frag plug for me).
 
The best way i've found to use the epoxy is mix it up and then wait a few minutes until you feel it start to harden a little bit (that's what she said). Then stick it to the coral (or plug) and then add superglue to the epoxy before sticking it to the rock. Push and twist into the rock and hold for at least 30 seconds.
