Alright, so as some of you may know, I originally had a 29gallon saltwater nano tank to help me get used to maintainance on a saltwater tank. My dad has now purchased a 72gallon bowfront tank and we're planning on a full reef. I've never had corals, but I know that I should start out with soft corals and easy ones that require no target feeding.
Now, since I've never had corals before, I don't know the first thing about attaching them to the rocks in my tank. I know that corals are very sensitive to (I think) PH shock and unstable levels, so I know that drip acclimatization is the best method over a period of atleast an hour. Now, how do I attach the coral to the live rock? Do I just put it in place and hope for the coral to attach itself? Or is there a special way to get the corals in place?
