Can anyone recommend a good coral adhesive, bassically i have my live rock formation kinda stacked how i like it and my corals are just kinda wedged into which isn't ideal I was trying to just find spot where they all liked it and were looked good at the same time, so is there a way to glue the bottom of the coral then have enough time to stick inside my tank to the LR, if its possible..

I use super or Krazy glue GEL. Glob it on real thick and hold in place for 10 seconds.

Crazy glue gel makes me crazy, I must be the only idiot on the planet who has no luck with the stuff despite numerous attempts. Seriously, I end up with the paper towels I use to dry the coral bottoms glued to my hands, arms, clothes, hair, etc. Let's also not forget my fingers glued together, it works well on me. It's just while I'm cleaning up the disaster, my coral is back blowing around the tank.

My fingers always end up glued together.

I prefer Krazy Glue Gel over anything else. I have used the Aqua Stik though and both will work.
I buy the Krazy Glue in bulk and expect to use a whole tube for 1 or 2 corals. Frags get maybe 3 out of each tube. And you definitely have to get it on there thick. I stick the frag to the rock and then wiggle it around a little bit to get the glue stuck to the rock before I leave it there stuck. Works for me.

+1000 and I would also like to add...non- powdered GLOVES from Walgreens, I keep a box next to my tank.

+1000 on the gloves. I had a mild allergic reaction to something in my tank. I got little blisters all along my arm and hand.

Haha, if I wore gloves, there would very likely be glove waving in the current.
I can't even imagine how much damage I could do if I used one tube on one coral. That much glue would likely have my entire arm glued onto the side of my tank.
