i am trying to propagate coral and i want to make some shell grit plugs
to glue the coral on to. i know of a shop on the GC that makes them,
but i need to know what type of glue i can use to glue the shell grit
together. it looks like a plaster of paris but that would just break
apart under water wouldn't it?

The Boston Aquarium uses epoxy glues when they create their backgrounds and tank
decorations. I don't know what brand they use. I don't see a "contact us" button
on their web site, but they do post a phone number. (617) 973-5200.
