LFS should sell super glue. I'm sure there are super glues
available at regular stores that are safe, but I don't know
which are which.

The red thing is algea. Hermits will eat it. No big deal. Regular Super glue (gel or regular) will work just dont use to much or get it on the edge of the matt. It can mess up the growth if you get it all over the place.

Get some Loctite Super Glue Gel, available at Home Depot or Lowes. Works great for attaching frags.

I use the loc tite gel, it works great. The main ingredient is cryanolite (not sure on the spelling) When you mount it make sure it is not in to much flow or light for a while.
