I want to glue 2 pieces of small tiny rocks to cover a gap. What product do you recommend for me to buy?

super glue from your nearest dollar store

Would that work? https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/aquastik-underwater-epoxy-putty-stone-grey-two-little-fishies.html

I'd say Super Glue if you can get good contacting surfaces but if you need epoxy, this one works for me and is cheap:

Instant Ocean HoldFast Epoxy

*plus use Super Glue on the contact surfaces to help it stick while curing

yes, but you can also get their super glue as the rocks are small as you stated

Gorilla gel from any store will work. It's reef safe. Just make sure it's the GEL version.

both? you’ll probably have a need for either later down the road

Super Glue gel vs epoxy kinda depends on the strength needed, I'd say.
Maybe post a pic of what you're trying to fix.

*aside, I did mean GEL when I said Super Glue before

If it's not structural support, Super Glue gel should be fine, I'd think.

If it needs to support some weight, epoxy would be better but be aware that the epoxy I linked earlier dries kinda whitish/gray so you'd see any exposed part until it starts getting covered with algae.

There's other reef epoxies that dry coralline pink (and maybe even purple), but I've never used those.

You could try Super Glue gel first, let it dry, and see how sturdy it is.
