    Maybe. Depends on what "some coral" entails.

    You can try, they seem to be 50/50 for me on being successful.

    Best bet would be to glue it to a piece of rubble first. Then you can move the small rock easier here and there until you and more importantly the coral are happy & then glue the rock down.

    you can attach it to a small rock or frag plug with super glue, then use 2 part epoxy or ecotech coral glue to attach to other rocks

    Be very careful handling it, wash your hands immediately after and don't stick your finger in your eye or anything. Zoas secrete palytoxins.
