What to do with loose trumpet frags?

I just got two small trumpet frags that are loose/not attached to live rock. If I set them in the tank in a good spot will they grow onto the live rock? I have an emerald crab and a turbo snail that move them around sometimes, so I suppose attaching them to a LR frag would be best? How do I go about doing that? :notsure: :notsure: :notsure:

They won't "grow" onto your LR....either wedge them into a secure location or use epoxy to mount them.

all my LPS are wedged between rocks or free lying. That way when I feel like aquascaping or need to mak more room you can just pull em right up.

Not a bad idea Stanlalee, thanks. The problem is that I have a great spot for them and no good crevice near by, plus I only have a 20H with some softies and I don't want any sting issues.

So, how about aquarium sealant instead of toxic super glue? Will that work? Will silicates be an issue if I use that? How long will I have to let it "set" before I can get the coral back in the water? Will the coral be okay out of water that long? :help:
