Colt Coral Detach Itself

[asmodyus]

Bought a colt coral and wedge it base into a whole in a rock and today I woke up and see that it got detach and is floating on the bottom of the tank.

How do I reattach it to anything I don't have any coral frag plugs and the plug it was attach to is stuck in the LR hole. All I have is some bleached coral my daughter found from the beach that I clean to use for rubble in my refugium can I attach to do that?

You can use super glue to attach it back to the plug or another piece of rubble.

So I got some Frag Glue and glue the Colt to my piece of Dried coral and it came off again. I'm not sure if the flow in my tank is to high were I put it. So I re-glued it again and put in my refugium hopping that it will cement better with low flow. Only question is will my light hurt it there I have a 6500k bulb there.

Here a pick of it

Loosely rubber band the base to a piece of rubble. It will attach eventually. I've done this with a number of softies. I did it too tightly on a sinularia, and now it has 2 bases as it caused it to split.

Well I did that and the damm thing split in half right were I had the rubber band. This thing does not want to stay on anything now I have to pieces and hopefully it will not die.
