Is this glue ok?

[GhostCon1]

Hey all, I have a nice little acro frag that I thought would do fine in this decent depression in my live rock, almost like a porous valley that he fits into.

My problem is, I've had him for almost a month now and he hasn't started to encrust onto the rock around him, and also I've noticed that the fit isn't as snug as what I had first hoped (and I knocked him over the other night ). So, I have decided to turn to glue. I have two types:

and

The only thing that I see as so far to what the glue is made of is cyanoacrylyte. Which I know is safe but... I've looked and I've seen the red tipped glue on a google search, but the other one specifically says gel on it:hmm6:

Also, they both say to not use them "for bonding parts that are subject to... immersion in water."

Help please! I don't want to kill my whole tank.

Thanks in advance!

Use the gel one been using it forever works fine

Thanks!

Also, should I just use an amount equal to the frag where it was cut or should I use a bit more?

And, should I put the glue on the frag or in the depression on my live rock and press the frag into that?

Yes use the gel, the regular is too thin.

you can put it on the frag if you don't want to take the rock out.

i usually rub some glue on the surface of where i want to mount it, then i place a little dab on the frag and join them this is the fastest way for me.

I've found that is the easiest way to glue frags when using gel.

Aw, I wish I had seen your post smoke before I went ahead and glued it. I put an eraser sized glob on the frag and then held it in place for a few seconds. It is kind of wobbly, but seems to be holding.

Then I noticed this white pennant waving from my acro and then realized it was glue, took some tweezers and got that off ASAP. Polyps have come back out now and it seems to be doing good, just a little loss of color that I expect to be back tomorrow or the next day.
