    new frag fell off plug

    I got a war coral today for a local frag swap. By the time I got home it was off the plug completely. now, this frag is small. Im talking, probably 3 cm by 5 cm. its a little dot it looks like. I didnt know what to do when I got home because I didnt want it to float away into the crevice;s of my rocks. So, i left it in the container, and put it at the top of my tank. Then I went out and bought some gel super glue. I went home and glued it back to the rock. In this time, it shriveled up a little, and it looked like there was glue all over it (from the person I bought it from glueing it down). I've attached it and now its sitting in my tank. Do you guys think this coral is hardy enough to survive all the glue and come back to life? I just hope I didnt kill it. Ill post pictures once it doesnt look so much like a glob of glue.

    I would think that as long as you didnt cover it completely with glue, you should be ok.........it really depends on how much you covered it.........

    i just put glue on the bottom, none on the top. After the piece fell off the rock it looked like the entire coral was covered. i just put a dab on the rock and then laid it on top of the rock.
