Some Halimeda will attach if it's kept stationary next to a rock. I've placed it
in the sand before and when removed sometime later (many weeks) it has
grown holdfasts to the sand. This could then be superglued to a rock
with the confidence that it would stay attached. To give it room to place it's holdfasts, I would definitely use a small dab of superglue rather than a mound of epoxy.
I can't say for the world, but around these parts the history of coral farming vocabulary went something like this:
We first learned in January 1996 from LeRoy Headlee of Boise Idaho how to "propagate" the soft leather coral Sarcophyton.
http://www.garf.orgThen as the hobby took off because of advances in our knowledge of filtration, we could began to see SPS actually surviving and even growing
No more bleached coral fragments for decoration!
Probably because of how SPS corals break off as fragments the term fragmentation was used.
It seems to me that then fragmentation was too big a word and "fragging" sounded so much better than "propping".
It would not surprise me if the WMAS was one of the first clubs to have a "Frag Fest" (actually we called it a Coral Propagation Seminar) because I believe we did our first one somewhere around 1997 when we were meeting at the U of U. I'm not positive of the year, but I believe Adam may have just graduated from High School at the time and was WMAS Vice President.
