Hi, i just got some soft coral from my LFS and they said to fix it to my LR i could use super glue??? Is this ok or is there another way?
Thanks in advance

I wouldnt glue its tissue. Fasten it to a piece of rock with a rubberband and check it in a week, it should mount itself to the rock.

. . . THEN once the coral has attached itself to its new small mounting rock, you can use SuperGlue GEL to attach that small rock to a larger one in your reef structure.

Won't cut into the coral unless you use too small of a rubber band for the size of the rock
