Fragged Nephthea Not Staying Put

[Mhay]

About 2 weeks ago I got a fragged piece of Nephthea. It has been doing GREAT! Beautiful color and extension! Only problem is that it refuses to stay on the frag I glued it to. This is now the second time it has somehow managed come off the frag. At first I thought I didn't glue it enough as I ran out but the second time I thought for sure that sucker was not coming off"¦ wrong! It seems like it is producing some type of slime and just slowly comes away from the glue. I'm not sure how this was fragged or if it was even done right (if it can be done wrong). Is there anyway I can get it to stay put or will it eventually attach itself? Any input would be helpful!

fishing line + needle, Sew it to a plug.

OR. just jam the base between two rocks, it will attach itself in matter of weeks.

I tried the jamming but thanks to my blenny and hermits it won't stay where I put it very long.
I'll try the fishing line and wrapping the line around a piece of rubble.

You can also loosely use a rubber band to attach it to a rock.

I use a plastic toothpick through its base sideways, then rubber band the toothpick down to a piece of rock until the coral grows onto the rock.

My lfs uses the toothpick trick also

I just put it inside any crevices and it will grow from there

This is what I do.

I set a rubbermaid container in a low flow area and throw some rubble rock in it. Just drop the coral in it and give it time.
