I have a 7 brance piece of Trumpet Coral. Three of the "heads" popped off. My wife place them in a containter with a net over the top two weeks ago. the "heads" seem to be doing well....What do I do with them? Do I glue them to something????

Help please..

Just the flesh part or the head along with hard skeleton? If flesh part, maybe check out that thread about the brain that floated off it's skeleton. If skeleton and flesh, stick em somewhere. They'll start growing again.

I had that happen a while back, at the time cyno was trying to take over my tank. I did get rid of the cyno but the heads didn't make it past a week and I spot fed them. good luck

LOL....wow that is strange, if so i guess that ur best bet would be to gluing them onto something, but i would use the gel crazy glue, and not any kind of epoxy pudding

My buddy Josh had this happen to his trumpet, it attached to the rock then popped again. He used super glue GEL to attach it to a spot he wanted it. and ITs growing fine. as long as you don't have any algae problems i suggest glueing it. his is still doing fine with just head and yeah its pretty crazy.
