superglue, epoxy, what and how? Help please

[fellers]

Say I wanted to glue a couple single ployp orange ricordeas to some existing live rock in my tank. How do I go about doing that? What type of superglue, and will it set up in the water to cure and harden?

superglue/epoxy would not be the best for that particular coral (or really any soft corals... it just won't bond. here's a trick.. get some rock rubble from your LFS and put it in a plastic container. Cover the container in wedding veil after you toss the ric polyp in it. Give it about a month and you can place the ric anywhere.

Im sorry I was inquiring about a polyp that was already atached to a rock then adhereing to other live rock.

Just take epoxy and put it on the frag rock and put some super glue (watch out what brand because some are toxic) on the bottom of the epoxy then stick the frag to the LR and mold the epoxy around the LR so that when the super glue wears off the epoxy keeps the frag stuck on
