I've heard of people using super glue to attach java moss and java fern to logs and rocks and whatnot, if it is cured completely (I'd wait 24 hrs) it should be fine.

Make sure you get the GEL super glue (or krazy glue gel).

And wat can I use to sand the edges down so my pieces fit together better? Sand paper??

I'm not sure if that one is safe or not...maybe someone else here has experience with it. Here's what I meant:
Amazon.com: Elmer's E617 Super Glue Gel 0.07-Ounce, 2-Pack: Home Improvement

How about hot glue??

 

[KlcoKN]

it might take a while with sand paper, but yeah you can sand terra cotta... just make sure not to inhale the dust. if you are wanting to quickly round off corners, try rubbing it on the sidewalk like chalk And I wouldn't use the gorilla glue, you can find super glue for a dollar or two at walmart...

But hot glue??

Hmmm, I believe its aquarium safe, but I don't know how well it will hold on the clay once the clay gets waterlogged... maybe try gluing two scrap pieces together and soak them to see if it holds?

I read somewhere about responses from Krazy Glue and Gorilla Glue in regards to being aquarium safe.

BOTH of them are in fact aquarium safe. For Krazy Glue, the customer representative said it would be to safe after waiting 1 day. As for Gorilla Glue Representatives, they said to cure for 2 weeks before putting it in.

Wow thanks I'll do that!

You can use any glue that is cyanoacrylate based. Most superglues are made from this. I'd use super glue gel as it's much easier to work with. The cyanoacrylate is a completely inert solvent and is fine to use in aquariums. Salties, including myself, use this all the time to bond coral frags to rock.
