If it is cyanoacrylate, it's OK.

Yeah they sell it in hardware stores...and walmart, dollar store, 7-11, it's the run o' the mill super glue. I would recommend Gel over typical super glue though. That stuffs too runny for what we want and seeing how it will cauterize where it contacts the coral, you want something more "manageable". perfectly safe. Iv'e even seen it used specifically to cauterize places on sps with tissue ressesion or area's with broken off bits that may need a little attention. I keep a nice steady supply of super glue gel around the house at all times. Its got so many uses in this hobby.
