Well depending, I sometimes use superglue gel (only a 50% chance of success) or a simple Rubber band. My yellow toadstool frag I took the other day is held down with a loose rubber band. |

glue works but it restricts some corals growth, rubber band if you can, or just add a pinch of glue to the very bottom of the frag, dont surround the base in glue.

Super Glue gel, purple epoxy, or wedging.
One note about wedging....SOMETHING at SOME POINT will knock it out of place....another of murphy's laws
