I feel like it will hurt the coral but I made it as loose as possible. It still feels very tight. It is not freshly cut, any tips on what to do? Should I just watch it and see if the rubberband is too much or is sticking a toothpick through the base better for the coral? Thanks.

Rubber bands work well for gsp and some others. I like the toothpick for leathers.
What soft corals?

I've had no problems using rubber bands on leathers..
Just make it tight enough to hold them there and nothing else..
Now I just bust out the super glue and glue them down..

I like using a needle and thread for leathers, the first time I tried a rubber band It almost cut itself in half when it inflated the next day. I just could not get it right.
The thread is either tied or superglued down and can be pulled out later.
