Glueing coral to rock??

[huma-huma]

Recently was given a few coral frags from a friend. Theres a total of 5 but 2 of them arent attached to a frag plug or piece of rock. Those two are a green acropora and a chalice (cant remember which one right this second) my question is can i glue these two to a small piece of rock? The acro has its base trunk but o wasnt sure if glue would harm it. Same goes with the chalice.

Anything 100% cyanoacrylate. Just use minimal and avoid getting as much on it as possible.

Gel superglue. Wife gets it at the dollar store.

Superglue and crazyglue are both cyanoacrylic glues. WAYYY cheaper that speciality LFS glue that is exactly the same.

is this safe? i can't find the ingredients on this epoxy, plus it does say "not suitable for.....prolonged immersion in water"

i also have some super glues by Scotch, except that the ingredients are: ethyl cyanoacrylate and hydroquinone. is this super glue safe?

Looks like same ingredients as super glue. Should be fine to use. Don't use the epoxy however.

Regular superglue is way too runny. Get yourself some Loctite Ultra Gel Control (blue bottle).... works great. Available at Wally-World or most hardware stores for a few $$.

Cyanoacrylate superglue is safe to use in your tank, but it will cause your skimmer to go flat for a while.
