Folks said not to glue coral when you got em ... because they may not like the spot.

But then if you want to trial an awkward spot where gluing is a must, don't you glue it there and see how it goes?

It's like trial-n-error ?

I always glue my coral/frags with the knowledge that I may have to move them. I use the glue/epoxy/glue method. Basically crazy glue(I think I am dating myself) pea size epoxy and glue. If I want to move it, I just twist a flat scrwdriver underneath and then replace using the same method.

I do this because I have a bunch of urchins and turbo snails who have no problem moving unglued corals all over the place.
