Super glue reef safe?

mich2599 · Jan 20, 2019

I’ve read that some super glues are reef safe. If so, which ones are they? Some of my frags have become unglued and they are getting tossed around. Need something that I can find at Walmart.

Straight cyanoacrylate is totally reef safe. Brand names vary but so long as that’s the kind of glue without additives you should be fine.

Will the green cap gorilla glue work? Or do you have any specific ones that you would prefer?

Yes, the green cap will work, and it’s what I use. It’s a cyanoacrylate so you’re all good. Just make sure you get the gel type, and double check it says cyanoacrylate on the packaging.
