Best glue or expoxy for large colonies

[vijaym85]

Hi recently I got some larger SPS pieces and I am at a loss as to how to get them aquascaped. I see that many of you have very beautiful aquascapes and the way you attach your corals to your rockwork is amazing. I am wondering what is the best product or technique to attach larger pieces firmly but at the same time allowing one to have flexibility to create a unique aquascape. I find that the cyanoacrylate does not hold on strong enough or drys too fast. It works ok for smaller frags but for larger stuff that is heavy its not very good at least not in my experience. Any advice?

rubber bands or zip ties

Use both cyano and putty, works great. Coral then cyano then putty then cyano then put it where you want squish and hold for a few and done.

the simplest method i have discovered for larger frags is putty but there are many elaborate alternatives, like drilling holes,fishing line, elastics, all kinds of goodies. Your imagination and your rock framework are the only limiting factors.
