Cant get corals to stay in place...

[mos90]

i have 1 stubborn coral that i cant get to stay on the rock, i think the snails keep knocking it off. ive tried gel superglue twice with no luck. it is a neon green polyp with a 1.5" round base rock with a flat bottom.

any other ideas?

More glue... lol hold it in place untill it holds itself... all i can suggest. Put a good size thick blob on the bottom, then push into place and give it a few small twists back and forth to get the "shell" of hard glue to break. Possibly get better glue (unless its hobby grade as dollar store stuff sucks).

Locktite is a favorite of mine, but something I usually use on dry applications. I use the twolittlefishies superglue...it seems to me to be thicker. I then build several "shells" by adding glue, and dunking it into the water. Then when I have a big gob, I stick it where I want it, and twist it in. Helps if the rockwork has a hole already or you can take the rock out of the tank and drill it.
