just wondering what i should use to attach this poor guy to the rock he is on..

bought it as a loose frag a couple days ago and he is getting beat up by the flow to much to stay on one place very long..

can i use "household GOOP" to stick him down?
currently there is two elastic bands holding him in place...but i am affraid they may cut through him it isnt attached soon..

my GSP attached with in days of just sitting on the rocks...not this guy though...

i would not use glue on a soft coral. they will atach on their own. all you need to do is place it in a low flow area and give it time. i use rubber bands to hold them in place, i use spacers between the band and rock to reduce the pressure on the coral. the way you have it in the photo looks good, just use a small piece of rock to keep pressure off it's flesh, and keep it snug.
