I was trying to shy away from superglue, however it does not look like I am going to be able to. What brand and kind do I want? Is there a certain chemical that I want or do NOT want in the glue? A specific brand name that is non-toxic?
Any immediate help would be appreciated. I have a Kenya Tree Coral that I thought would have adhered to my live rock by itself by now, so I cut it free at the base from the host rock that it was on........I was wrong. It is now just SITTING on the top of a piece of live rock and rubberbands seem to harm leathers rather badly. Thanks to all

Regular super glue GEL is what works best and it is non toixc. You should have no problem with it. Thats what I use. Wal-mart your local hardware store should have it.

I just know there is about 20 different makers and their packages all say super glue GEL. I am just going after Elmers and hoping that is adheres underwater.
Thanks

Yea, I dont know the exact maker tha I have used, I just always grabbed what ever was on the shelf. Never really noticed different makers. Its always the one in the white tube with green and red label. Sorry I could be more specific.

You ever used it underwater? I prefer not to pull an entire 30 lb piece of live rock (its a big boy) out of my tank and have the 5 pieces leaning against it fall over for a coral.

The Super Glue GEL (as suggested) will bond underwater. I have done many Frags under water. It will bond FAST though so be quick about it. You can clean it off your hands under hot water afterwards. :)
