Can I glue underwater?

[Titleist1964]

I finally have my aquascape where I like it, but every time I add a new coral or two, I pull the structure apart and glue them down, but it never seems to go back the same way. Can I glue to the rocks while they're still submerged?

I use Gorilla Glue Gel. Thanks.

Yup. Any brand cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) will be reef safe. However, I've found that just using super glue underwater can be a bit of a pain. You have to move it around to break the "skim" that forms to get a good bond.

I really like using a little putty applied to the frag (I move all mine to rock rubble now instead of frag plugs) and then put a good dollop of super glue gel on the putty. Seems to hold faster with less fiddling around.

Not my idea but couldn't tell you where I picked it up from now. Here or BRS more than likely.

I've found myself scrapping the corals off the frag plug, just easier to put it where you want it and or rubble like you mentioned. Thank you.

Holy SHlT, that helps immensely. This dude really pushed me into saltwater, I watched this and was amazed. I currently run a JBJ 20 but will be going to the Red Sea 25 Peninsula early next year, I need more room. @MoshJosh TYVM, this helps.

This is what got me started.
