montipora capricornus help!

i just got 2 new montipora capricornus corals. I just placed them on the rock so that they can just attach to a rock by themselves,but the current in my tank keeps moving them a little,will this effect them attaching to a rock?

Yes they will not attach do you have any epoxy around?

Why you didn't use super glue or a similar coral adhesive? That kind of movement will prevent them to attach fast.

well I did attach them to a rock with super glue gel but I was moving around the liverock in my tank and I hit it and it fell off and I didnt have any glue left so I just put it on a rock. I am going to find some epoxy and try it, because it seemlike forever for the superglue gel to dry.

Try not to get any on the edge that you want to attach to the LR. It's hard to explain, but try to keep the glue on the bottom. The edges with glue won't grow.
