Best way is to get a piece of live rock rubble, glue the frag to the rock rubble OUT of water. Let it set. Then epoxy the rock rubble where you want it to go.

If this wasn't a joke, I'm sorry...

the reason i asked... There is a book i have http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewIt...s~vendor~.html
it talks about someone using gum to adhere corals with gum
And then they say "Don't tell anyone your doing it though"

Any opinions?

Wow.

Just use superglue gel for small corals and Aquamend (or any good twow part epoxy) for the larger pieces.
