Does super glue gel work fine for attaching frags to rocks? Thanks.

I agree...it does work very well, but if the coral frag that you want to mount has any significant weight at all, try using an epoxy like Aquamend along with the glue gel.

I got some Elmer's super glue gel yesterday. I hope it works. My snails have been knocking everything over.

Don't get frustrated if you don't nail the technique the first time. Pull the frag out of the tank, put a big glob of glue on it, and press it into the rock. Wiggle it a bit and you should feel the glue catch.

The glue forms a skin when it hits the water, so you need to press/wiggle it a bit to get the skin to break so fresh glue can ooze into the joint and complete the job.

Well I managed to get a few pieces to stick, but I also managed to get super glue all over my hands. DOH!
