Question Epoxy for Sensitive Coral

Is there a brand or a DIY people use for corals who appear extra sensitive to this stuff?

Just a little FYI:

I just used aquamedic's two part and the whole frag ended up sliming away. It's only with this coral...and I have no idea what type of coral it is. It's dark brown, came on the back of a snail(I thought I'd narrow it down for you ), and has growth patterns similar to pocillopora but the "necks" of the polyps extend more than most sps I've seen...they look more like little tulips with the leaves "spiking out." It's actually pretty fuzzy in appearance.

What about when you want to glue in the water?

That sounds like clove polyps, and they wouldn't necessarily glue well with anything, I'd expect.
