I bought a couple of corals from online and one of them is off of the disk and I have coral glue but I don't know whether to glue it back to the disk or just glue it to my rock and right now it's acclimating to the tank so I need to figure out what to do and it's an acan and I've never glued corals before so how do I go about doing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks

Gotta have that acro
Just get some gel superglue , putting it on a disk or rock is up to you.

Yeah superglue gel is great! Take the frag out of the water put a good sized dollop on the bottom of the skeleton, put it pack in the water and stick it to the rock or plug you wish. Keep in mind the gel will get a thin coating from being exposed to the water so make sure you squish the dollop onto the rock/plug well, and hold it there for a minute.

This doesnt work on leathers and mushrooms. Mushrooms commonly detach from plugs during shipment. Its best to put them in a small plastic cup with sand and rubble. They will move onto the rubble and then you can glue the rubble down

I use epoxy and gel super glue to attach corals. I like detaching the coral from the plug. I take a piece of epoxy and mash it up thoroughly to activate it. Epoxy comes in two colors which become activated upon mixing. I put a small drop of super glue on the epoxy and attach it to the coral. Then I put a small drop of super glue to the bottom of the epoxy and use that to attach it to the rock. The epoxy conforms to the irregularities of the rock. The glue forms the bond. It is a glue epoxy glue sandwich. It might be over kill.

Yeah I already had it here at my house but I've got a question when I'm doing water changes and I mix my water first and then I aways move my corals and anemones down in the bottom of the tank do I really need to move them down in the water or would they be fine out of the water for a little bit until I get water back in and I have lps corals and a couple of anemones in the tank so can they be out of the water for a few minutes or so or should I keep moving them down in the tank to where there aways in the water while I'm changing the water

They will be fine for short period of where your doing WC's. Reef tops get exposed to air all the time.
