    We got our stuff from hobby lobby, its a modeling glue and completely reef safe. It comes in a pretty good sized bottle and last for a long time. Its called Extreme Power - thick

    Pull the coral out of the water and put the glue on the coral, or You could put the bottle in the tank and put it on the glass but if you got any saltwater inside the bottle the rest of the glue would be ruined. But its only 5 bucks it might be worth it.
