best products for gluing coral

[StephNewman]

I have been having trouble with getting my mushrooms and zoas to stay glued to my rocks for fragging and just attaching to larger rocks in my tank, what does everyone suggest. I use to use suger glue gel but that doesn't seem to be workign anymoreand also have used reef glue by boston aqua farms (which can only be used outside the tank so is not as useful when I can't bring some of my big rocks out of the tank) and hasn't been keeping my mushrooms or zoas hocked to the pegs anyways when doign outside the tank. I don't know what to try next.

I don't think you can glue mushrooms... thats what I have always heard at least and I have never been successful with it. But on leathers or shrooms that slime up alot (I think this is what does the super glue in) I have always taken a needle and very thin fishing line and gone a couple of times into the bottom of the coral and around the rock where I want it. till it latches on then I cut the fishing line out.

To attach mushrooms and xenia I first fill a small Tupperware container with live rock rubble, then set the container in a low area of flow. When you frag the coral, set it on top of the live rock, it will attach to a small piece. Then you can use the super glue gel to attach that smaller piece to a bigger one.

As for brands of glue, I have used and liked LocTite gel, and recently used IC-gel by BSI. Both brands work underwater for me.

I do about the same thing, I use baby food jars and small pieces of rubble rock letting the coral attach naturaly. Then as Kraash said gluing that rubble to a larger rock.
