I suggest you buy the Loctite brand super glue, there is one that says it's also for aquarium use on the list of uses.

most super glues are fine if they are the gel form. the active ingredient in reef glues is cyanoacrylate which is the same in most dept. store gel form super glues

I have that kind sitting by my tank right now. I have used it many times before. Glue the frag and put it in the tank.

Agreed, gel form of superglue, cyanoacrylate. The problem with the plain form of cyanoacrylate glues is that it's much too thin. You need the thicker gel form in order to create a better bond.
