I've got a fairly large wall hammer that likes to tip over as it is fairly topheavy and on my sand. I was thinking of drilling down a crevice into the rock then epoxing/superglueing it in to give it a nice base of support. The possible issues I'm thinking of is I do not know how exactly wall hammers grow; is if from the sides?Base? just the top? I don't wanna resrick

Why not attach it to a flat rock base and move that around if you like?
That is basically the idea. think caverny like 4.5ish inch rock by 2inch rock for a cupping base. I'm trying to find any flaws before doing it.

That's how my wall hammer is set up currently. It's never left the sand bed, but the coral inflates to a pretty large size, so stability is definitly an issue. I'm a big fan of "spot welding" coral plugs/rocks to your rock work, so if they are ever to be removed, you can break the bond between two rocks and not risk damaging coral skeleton.

Glueing to rocks will not effect how the coral grows its skeleton. Over time the skeleton and rock will just become one as the skeleton grows it will just grow over whatever rock it needs to as it expands. At the rate E. ancora grows in our reefs, you wouldnt have an issue anyway lol
