Glue question

[MAXreefer]

HI All,
I have been working with epoxy and coral glue and all worked well.
But now I have to attach some smaller corals to a big rock which I can't take out of the water.
I heard you can use superglue/Krazyglue gel as well which is btw much much cheaper?
My question:
Could I put some crazyglue gel on the base of the coral out of the water. Wait for a few seconds and then attach it UNDER water to the rock?

Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.

yes you can as long as its gel and doesnt have the wrong chemicals in it i have done it with my frog spawn coral and several different button polyop corals just be carefull it doesnt take long to dry and get it back in the water asap as soon as it starts to set it will work or atleast my luck with it has.

thx for the quick reply!!

What do you mean with the "wrong chemicals"?

Would crazyglue be ok or you have a good brand to recommend?

Look for cyanoacrylate based super glue.

Go get yourself some Loctite Super Glue Gel. Reef safe and works great. What frags exactly are you trying to glue? There are different methods for different corals.
