Loose Xenia ???

I am getting some loose Xenia, and I was wondering if I could just superglue a stalk to the aquarium glass? (or to anything else that I want)
I'm just not sure if it actually has to be attached to a rock or something in general...

you can't glue it . but it will attach itself to live rock or rubble if you put it on a container overtime. then you can glue it where ever you want.

this coral is so slimy how can you dry the stalk?
as i mention above get a clear container or covered it with net for the light to pass through and in day or two it will attach itself to and rubble,or the container itself.

HMMM...so sand on the bottom of the container would be a good idea...I don't want it to attach to a container.....I guess if it attaches to a small enough rock, maybe I can glue that to the glass
I have seen it growing on peoples glass.....but never noticed any rock%%

Put it in a VERY low flow area with a small rock rested beside it and it will attach to it in a day or 2. And it will grow like a weed.

I am for the rock next to it. I don't know how nissan557 got it to glue down. I never had luck with glue. It is like holding snot.
Please note nissan577, I am not calling you out. Just saying I don't see how you did it. Kudos to you friend for getting it to work.
