How do I attach Monti Cap frags to a rock. Trying to save what I broke

[Osteomata]

Welp, managed to break three pieces off of my orange monti cap while moving a rock. I have the three pieces sitting on a ledge, but would like to attach them to some small rock for grow out. How do I do this? Superglue Gel?

superglue gel them to rock rubble.

I second the super glue gel method, it works great. I have done it a bunch of times and had no problems, unless one of my clumsy fish swims into the frag that is.

I usually take a piece of LR out of the tank, dry it a little, and place a bead of superglue gel on it, and stick whatever coral I have to it, polyps up. Wait 30 seconds, and place it in the tank.

I had some monti frags that had broken off the mother colony. I had no fish in the tank at the time (weird I know) and just placed the frags on a secure piece of rock and they all encrusted and grew within weeks.

use as little super glue as possible like rolblack says a bead, and i also like to take it out dry it a bit the rock and underside of coral. The first time i did it i put way too much glue and it kill off the section were i placed the glue.

I prefer to use as much super glue gel as possible, the largest bead that I can get on it without covering up too much of the coral. I really don't want to lose my frags!

Oh, and also, before you stick a frag somewhere in the tank, be sure to brush the area off with your finger, fingernail, and/or toothbrush, to ensure that any turf algae or detritus that is there is gone, so it'll be glued to the rock, not what's covering the rock.
