I have these two SPS colonies which I would like to glue onto a large plate or rock (sorry for the glare).
Are there any issues with me cutting them from the bottom with a bandsaw to make the bottom flat (or get them into a better shape) for easier attachment? My goal is to not hurt the colony more than needed.
The first one/#1, for example, is well encrusted over a plate and a plastic egg crate, which makes it very unstable in the tank. I would keep the cut as close to the plate as possible while trying to remove the eggcrate element from it. Then glue a heavy plate on it.
The second one/#2 has the base in a concave form which seems to be great for (some) rocks but not all.
Lastly, glueing them onto something requires a lot of glue given their size. Is it better to use epoxy and glue for this?
