dunno but any sps can be superglued from what i understand. I superglue everything. I also used the cheapest superglue gel i can find and it always works fine for me. Maybe it was just luckl of the draw with the birdsnest

plus the superglue puts some stress on the coral which was already stressed from shipping

Use super glue gel, dry off the coral part ou are trying to glue and the part that you are trying to glue it to. I've never had it fail.
