Xenia fell off! - Aquarium Advice

This frag is attatched to a thick piece of coraline algae that came off of my live rock, what would be the best way to mount it to a piece of base rock without glue? I don't have any, and I am skeptical about puting glues into my tank. Rubber bands are out of the question because the rock is too big. Any Ideas would help. Thank you in advance.

Just click the photobucket icon, I don't know why it says it has moved?

You can use epoxy putty. They sell it at lfs and online. it is a green tube with a white center. You break some off and mix it then stick it to what you want. If you dont use a lot you wont see it. If you want to, you could try to wedge the rock or try to use other small rocks to hold it down. If that doesnt work then the epoxy will work.

HoldFast Epoxy Stick
This an example. They have another brand as well.

Wonder if JB weld would work lol. I'll have to check out lowes to see if they have some putty like that, I think they do. Thank you for the Idea.

If you go to a LFS, might as well ask for a rubber band. Epoxy wouldnt work well, and the xenia would just slime up and slip out.
