Don't use gorilla glue to mount corals.  Use super glue gel. |

I just did a little in the tank. Tang bit a piece... Fortunately, he kept trying to eat despite the fact his mouth was glued shut. So, I was able to lure him with some food into a net.
Just a warning to keep an eye on the fish that have become used to your hands in the tank.

Just use a big glob of superglue gel on the end of the coral, and glue it into place.

About an hour. Which makes me wonder how he got air. It barley phazed him at all; even after I took him out and cut it in half (looked like he had "Got Milk?" face). He was out eating with a crusty on his upper lip in a minute.

Yesterday I had a bit of gel superglue float off and I thought my clown was gonna bite in. That would have sucked.
