You will be removing bacteria with your rock. If you don't have a heavy fish load, however, it won't make much of a difference.

You should be fine but I'd give it a few weeks to a month before adding anything else to the tank just in case. You want to give the bacteria a chance to regrow.

As for the colt, it will eventually need to be placed on a larger rock in order to support itself so you might as well put some glue on the small piece of rock that the coral is attached to and stick it to a larger piece of rock

I'd be more concerned about the stalk of the colt coral being stung by whatever corals you place next to it. The stalk of the colt does not sting but all corals are capable of chemical warefare through the water column so try to space your corals out accordingly.
