Default Attaching corals to rock??

A friend gave me a piece of her GSP. I have it just laying on a rock but it keeps getting pushed off. I have heard to use super glue to stick them to the rock but isn't this bad for the water quality? Also, how would you do it because shouldn't both be dry in order for it to work?

super glue gel is what you want it dont harm fish or anything and the gel kind sticks fast under water

no wet is fine it actually makes it stiffen up faster being under water at least it seems that way

Try to dry off the spot(the best you can)you are glueing once you place the GSP on the rock then put back in the water! It will take a few seconds before it will harden!

For GSP i'll always use a rubber band to hold the mat to the rock. After couple of weeks the mat extend and attache to the rock and you can remove the rubber band or it will decay in few weeks.
