so I'm not really new to saltwater but I'm in a slight predicament. Usually when j buy corals they come on a decent size rock or have a foot that will attach fairly fast. But I just recently bought a starburst polyp (2 of them) and popped them off the plugs; and I got lucky with the first one I put coral glue on it and dunked it into my tank and it stuck to the rock I wanted. The second one however didn't and it's fallen off 3 times now. Is there anyway for me to attach this to a main display rock without pulling it out or being lighten fast with my coral glue?
 
Use it in the water and be careful. Apply it and stick it
 
By star burst do you mean green star polyps?

Yeh star polyps the ones that look like grass essentially. It may not matter anyways, I think I killed the frag. I tried to attach it again earlier today and I think I pressed to hard on it

Lol.....no you didn't kill them trust me. Star polyps are very picky and will take some time to come back out. They don't like being moved around. It may be a couple days before you see them come back out maybe even longer but they will. Trust me, they are alright
