yep... found that the easiest way to do it, is to take your frag out of the water (dont worry, they can survive for the 30-45 seconds it will take) and pat dry the bottom of the frag and the rock/plug/whatever you'll be using. glue them together... presto! back into the water with em!

I don't see why it wouldn't. I don't know about the ethly but cyanoacrylate is fine.

yup perfectly safe to use. after glueing the frag dip the frag in tank water to accellerate the cure. you'll have to hold it in place for about 30 seconds or so. you can dip it dirctly in your tank with no ill effects from the glue but I prefer to use a cup of tank water so any slime or weeping from the corals dont go into the tank.

Sure will but there are cheaper brands out there.
I keep the corals out for a few minutes and there is no problems doing so. I dry off both the plug and the bottom of the frag before gluing.

The sps coral I want to glue is going to be going on a huge rock, so I can't take out the rock without braking down the rock work. Will this glue work underwater?

I've used superglue underwater before. It works, but not great.

I used the same super glue for all of my gorgonians. It works quite well.

It work underwater fine. What you need to do is put some on first, rub it on the rock and then pull the coral. Put more glue on and put on the rock where you rubbed the coral. It will stick fine.

I think this is the secret trick. Pulling the frag up a bit stretches the glue and then when you put it back seems to stick much much faster.

The secret is out, I should have charged for that one.
