Securing Coral to rock?

[Mmcghee102485]

What do you guys recommend for securing coral to rock? What do you do if you decide that you need to move it after it’s secured? Is there a product that holds but can be removed if needed in the future?

Superglue-2 part epoxy stick- superglue sandwhich. Can be broken off with fingers, but will hold up to urchins, snails, etc.

Can this be done in water? Thanks!

It can, but be swift - and turn off your skimmer it'll go haywire with that sammy combo! Be sure to create the sandwich outside of water, and then placed on coral and rock under - and hold for a bit. Ideally it would be placed on the coral out of water but it will work.

Absolutely - so long as you're running carbon

I've used loctite, gorilla glue, and generic gels. All good as long as they are just plain cyanoacrylate gels. I use an old hypodermic needle to pop the glue bubbles underwater so a good bond can be made.
