Has anyone ever used gorillas glue construction adhesive?
I would not. Gel super glue is acceptable as is various coral glue on BRS or coral epoxy
Keep it tank safe

I did. The brown one, no issues. I will say the best way I found the connect rocks is this.
Use damp baking soda, packed between the rocks.
Hair dryer or heat gut to dry out baking soda.
Then drip liquid superglue onto the dried baking soda. This will dry almost instantly! Keep dripping it on until it quits absorbing. Then put some sand or crushed rock over the wet superglue. The baking soda will be the first areas that coraline will begin to grow .

These were in my previous reef for 4 years, when I upgraded, I was still able to lift them straight out and they held rock solid!

About how long does it take to get that baking soda dry?
