Attaching coral to rock

[capt crabtabulous]

I got a Kenya Tree Coral (capnella imbricata? )for Christmas and have been trying to attach it to a large live rock ever since. I tried super glue, epoxy and sticking it in a crack in the rock, but it continues to come loose. Any suggestions?

Check your waterflow. If you can or have a Refugium, try to do it there before moving it to the display tank (if flow is heavy)...super glue often fails for me, so I use this white puddy like glue from LFS (not sure if that's epoxy)

I have heard others mention placing a veil - sp? over the coral gently so it will stay in one place and give it time to attach.They tend to detach if they don't like something in that area. such as flow or lighting or other corals. So once he attaches watch it and see it needs to be moved elsewhere in the tank. HTH
