Gluing frags on to frag plug and rock

[newyorkr212]

Good afternoon my fellow reefers, I have a question to ask. When gluing a frag to the plug or rock, does it matter what kind of glue to use?
I was told that I could use gorilla glue gel. Is that right? Will it not kill my coral or fish?
I am a new reefer, so forgive me on the questions.

Thanks.

gorrilla gel is fine make sure it's the gel it's easier to use

You can use it in the water and out the water advice on in the water if its in a plastic tube and you squeeze it don't let it suck water back in or glue will be ruined inside

Also you can't glue soft coral like xenia for example they have to be rubber banded to a rock for a while until they grow onto it few days perhaps

I haven't had a lot of luck using the super glue type adhesives in the water. I really like 2 part epoxy (specific for aquariums). It's like mixing play-doh and comes in different colors to match your aquascape.

Are you actually gluing the coral to a frag plug or rock or do you mean attaching a frag plug to a rock?

The best is a combo of the two the epoxy acts as a gap filler

Well, I have two frags that came off the plug, I wanted to glue them back on to put on the rock.

I just ordered some epoxy, but I won't get it until next Thursday.
