    general tips - cause it can come off:

    if it comes off, find it pronto. You don't want that to establish randomly.

    it's best to glue it to coralline. it won't hold to glass well.

    the 'trick' is that it will rather quickly grow and attach itself to the glass. If it grows off the glue in enough directions it will stay forever. If it doesn't, the glue piece may come off and dangle by the part grown to the glass. It is best to just cut it off and throw it away. The established piece will do the trick.

    once it's in that state (grown onto the glass) it is fine to blast them with a power head. until then, i'd keep the flow moderate.
