magnets just like a frag rack...make sure thy dont rust tho.
I wonder if silicone could do the trick? I bet it will as long as its not to big.

Strong (earth) magnets covered with epoxy.

I used mr stickies underwater expoxy to glue stemless frag plugs to the glass but put a dollop if super glue on it too to hold until the expoxy cured. Then glued the coral on the plugs. Worked great and extremely strong bond.

who think is your tank? just make sure you dont snap the mags. together and damage your tank. depending on the size of rock you wish to mount you may need N42 or N52..

here is a good place to consider I just order some today in fact for a project:

As others indicated- Magnets glued to rock is the industry standard.

West Mariculture sells a frag rack like you are describing if you don't care to DIY
