help with colt coral?


I need some advice on what to do with this beautiful little colt coral frag I just got. It refuses to stay anywhere. Obviously it can't be superglued because it's too slimy. I've tried skewering it to the rock but it just passes the skewer right through it within 24 hours. I've tried sewing it to the rock but again, it just passes the thread. I've also both superglued and sewed it to a rock which kept it for about three days, and then it worked its way off. It's currently just drifting in the tank.

What the heck can I do to get this thing to attach to something?
