Will it stick?

Hello, I am wondering, if I wedge the skelatenous part of a torch coral into a crack in my live rock, will it attach to the rock on it's own? If so, how long might this take for a small frag? I am aware that many people glue their frags in place but still wonder about the coral's ability to attach itself. Looking forward to the feedback, thanks!

Something like a torch grows upward. There is no tissue that comes down over the skeleton, so it would never attach to a substrate.
