Default help with attaching new corals

the reason im posting this in asap is cause my internet connection has been down for a while not sure when i have signal(wireless)my problem is with my frogspawn and 1 day old colt coral. ive disturbed my tank so many time now trying to get them securely in the rocks,im going nuts.my frog spawn looks amazing but then i added the colt yesterday so i had to rearange the rocks again it just did not go back together the same way lol. and i ended up breaking some of the end of the skeleton of my frog spawn(is that bad?)so now i have less of it to stick down in the rocks.im going to buy a wave maker tomarrow(this im hoping will solve my problem of rearanging rocks to diffuse linear flow)while im out is there any thing i can get to attach corals in my tank.What is the best way to attach a colt 4-5"currently attached to a circle plug thing, and how do i attach the skeleton of the frog spawn? dont wont any curious inhabitants to send my corals rolling down the mountian.

I use AquaScape construction epoxy. Bought it at the LFS. It comes in grey or, purple. Super easy to use and adheres strong.

oh by the way you might wanto put the frogspawn in some more flow as they are prone to bacterial infections. if it gets one sometimes an iodine dip will help.
