I honestly just use IC Gel superglue. Nothing special, but works.

My local reefing friend tried gorilla glue brand super glue and always ends up coming to my house to borrow this stuff. Can't speak for other brands but the gorilla glue sucked for this. I've seen other people use regular super glue no problem as well.

Bob Smith coral glue gel works great.

super glue brand gel super glue and IO putty.

frag,glue,putty,glue, place on rock.

Tunze coral glue too but youll never move that frag again.

Tunze coral gum. Doesn't mess with skimmer, and your frag won't fall ever again.

Wow never thought you could put super glue in tank so these glues need to cure for a min before putting in tank or can I put some on plug and attach on rock in tank?

If you use the gel you can just put a glob on the bottom of the frag, wait maybe 30 seconds then put in water. The gel wil turn into a bubble that stays on the frag as soon as it hits the water. Hold it in place for 30 seconds and your done.
Pretty sure BRS had a good video of how to use their gel which you can apply to any of the gel type.

The glue/putty/glue "sammich" method Salty refers to above also works really well. I personally can't stand the smell of the putty so I skip it whenever possible.
