    just the way i do it but i use cyanoacrylate glue with insta-set accelerator the glue is cured fully in no time my frags stay out of water for 30 seconds tops if you look at the brand names (coraffix) and others, its just cyanoacrylate glue, it is a plastic glue by industry terms, but it is 100% safe for fragging best of luck to you

    I just wanna add, that when supergluing frags to a plug or mount just take your time and make sure you get a good connection. I've seen people freak out and do it fast and have a crappy frag because they are worried about the coral being out of the water. Corals are hardier than they seem.

    What happens to a glued coral when you need to relocate it? Do you just rip it off or saw away even though it has been glued down?

    I would try to get it right the first time so you don't have to worry about it! Any coral that has a hard part that you attach can usually be broken off where you glued it or even just above it and re-glued without a problem.

    That's why I like to use ic-gel by bsi. It anchors really well, but can come off with a bit of effort and torque.
